Former Nurse Turned Postal Clerk Performs CPR to Help Save Infant at Clifton Post Office

CLIFTON — What started as an ordinary Saturday morning at the Clifton Post Office quickly turned into a life-saving emergency on July 11 when a former registered nurse turned postal clerk sprang into action to revive an 8-month-old baby girl.

According to Clifton Police Chief Omar Negrete, dispatch received a 911 call at approximately 11:12 a.m. reporting an infant who was not breathing at the post office location. Within 30 seconds, Lt. Shari Aguilar of the Clifton Police Department arrived on the scene, where post office clerk Mary Schwarz was already providing critical medical intervention.
