Three Lives Saved in Six Days

Emergency responders in the Ithaca, NY area have had a busy holiday season! In the past 6 days, 3 lives have been saved – and it’s all thanks to the courageous teamwork between firefighters, EMTs, and trained bystanders.

On December 17th, a 25-year old woman’s heart had stopped. Emergency responders were immediately dispatched and arrived just 2 minutes after the call. Using CPR and defibrillators, they were able to get her breathing again. She was taken to the local hospital in serious but stable condition.

Just 4 days later, the second CPR-save came at 11am. A 66-year old man with a history of medical issues went into full cardiac arrest. Firefighters made it there very quickly, and were again able to use CPR and defibrillators to get the man breathing again.

And finally, the third save of the week! It happened a few days later at around 2pm in the afternoon near the entrance of a grocery store. A woman went into cardiac arrest and luckily, the store manager and a customer were there to witness it as well as even give CPR until responders arrived.

Ithaca Fire Lt. Tommy Basher praised everyone’s efforts and noted, “If bystanders begin CPR immediately it gives the victims a better chance for a positive outcome.”

My husband and I hired Precious Hearts to come teach us CPR in our home and we had a WONDERFUL experience! Grace is a fantastic teacher and we learned so much. She had all the proper equipment for us to get lots of practice, she gave lots of real-world examples, and overall she made the process really fun and positive. Our nanny came for the 2nd half of the class and she reviewed the CPR and choking rescue procedures with her as well. I sleep better at night knowing that we received great training and I would HIGHLY recommend Precious Hearts for anyone considering CPR training. Thank you Precious Hearts Team!
