Peter Scelfo - What Is Dad Doing?

What Is Dad Doing?DR. PETER SCELFO has dedicated nearly his entire career to the healthcare field. Initially working as a cardiovascular technologist in the cardiac catheterization lab at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, he later attended Georgetown University’s School of Dentistry, graduating in 1979. Over his forty-two years in practice, Dr. Scelfo has participated in the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology’s mass disaster course, handled numerous life-threatening emergencies requiring CPR, and has always maintained his CPR certification. His personal medical history is profound, having undergone seven cardiac catheterizations, received five coronary artery stents, and ultimately, a quadruple bypass surgery in 2016. Inspired by the fear he once saw on a colleague's face, Dr. Scelfo recognized the importance of addressing sudden medical emergencies in front of children, emphasizing the need for early education and preparedness.
