On April 17, local resident Scott Turner suffered a heart attack. He was transported by helicopter to Utah Valley Hospital where a cardiologist performed a cardio catherization. This would asses the damage from the heart attack and where a stent could then be placed. However, the surgeon told the family the procedure revealed significant damage and that stents would not be enough. A plan was then put into place for a quadruple bypass.
The surgery went well and was a success. Turner is now home and on the mend but is unable to return to work due to other health problems.
Sherald’s Frosty Freeze will hold a fundraiser in efforts to help Turner and his family pay for medical expenses. This fundraiser will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. on Monday, May 8.
