TULSA, Okla., March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PennWell Corporation, a diversified global media and conferences and exhibitions company, announced today a collaborative partnership between the Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS) and Take Heart America (THA), a US-based cardiac arrest non-profit organization. Under the terms of the partnership, JEMS has been named the official North American media partner of THA. The two organizations will collaboratively co-market and support joint efforts to improve outcomes from cardiac arrest.
