Roanoke CPR

I heard a story today from one of our customers that’s a powerful reminder of why CPR and first aid training matters.

A preschooler recently started choking. One teacher understandably hesitated in the moment — but another stepped in immediately, performed abdominal thrusts, and cleared the airway.

That child is okay because someone knew what to do and had the confidence to act.

In an emergency, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about being prepared enough to take action. Training builds that confidence — and sometimes, that confidence saves a life. ❤️

🔍 A couple of real-deal facts:
• When used within 3–5 minutes of cardiac arrest, AEDs can more than double to triple survival chances
• Over 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the U.S. each year — having an AED nearby can mean the difference between life and death

🚨 Local Hero Alert! 🚨

We just came across a powerful story on the news today — a local man collapsed suddenly, and thanks to the quick action of bystanders who knew CPR, his life was saved. 💓

It’s moments like these that remind us how important it is to be prepared. Emergencies don’t wait for the “right time” — and you never know when you might be the person someone is counting on.

👏 Huge praise to those who stepped up, stayed calm, and used their training when it mattered most. This story could have had a very different ending without them.

If you haven’t learned CPR yet, don’t put it off. It’s quick to learn, easy to remember, and it truly saves lives. Prepare now, so you’re ready when it counts.
