Saucon Valley Country Club

Yesterday afternoon, our Health and Safety Committee, alongside the Upper Saucon Township Emergency Management team, conducted a surprise Mock Code Drill (simulated cardiac arrest) on the Pickleball courts just after 12 P.M. These unannounced drills, held 3 to 4 times each season, are vital for testing our emergency protocols and keeping our staff’s training fresh. We walked through the full emergency response process, including performing CPR on a rescue dummy with the trainer AED. We're proud to say that this drill had the best response we’ve seen so far! The Emergency Management team, who often joins us for these drills, praised our team’s swift and proactive approach. A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone who participated. This time, the drill wasn’t announced as a Mock Code, allowing us to test response times under realistic conditions, and our team truly excelled.
