  • Bystander CPR is performed in only 40% of cases nationwide. Without CPR, brain death can begin within 4–6 minutes.

  • 350,000+ people suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the U.S. each year. Yet only 10% survive — largely due to delays in response, CPR, or defibrillation.

  • Every minute without CPR or defibrillation reduces a person’s chance of survival by 7–10%. Early action saves lives — immediate CPR can keep oxygen flowing to the brain and vital organs.

  • Performing CPR right away can double or even triple a person’s chances of surviving a cardiac arrest that happens outside of a hospital.

Testimonials

  • My father had a heart attack and I was in complete shock. The speed and the efficiency of the first responders was quite literally life-saving. Today, my dad is recovering and all thanks to Fauquier County first responders.

    Sarah, T. Warrenton, VA

  • “Before the program, I didn’t think much about first response—I assumed someone else would know what to do. Now, after training and learning, I feel empowered and responsible. If someone in my neighborhood needs help, I have the tools to step in.”

    — Tyler B., Castleton, VA

  • “Living in Fauquier County, I always worried about what would happen in a medical emergency—not just for myself, but for neighbors in our rural areas. This program has given me confidence that if something happens, there are trained people close by who can help until paramedics arrive.”

    — Jenna T., Warrenton, VA

  • "When our small community came together for the training, I realized how important local preparedness is. Having access to these resources right here in Fauquier means faster response, better outcomes, and peace of mind for our families.”

    — Miguel R., Midland, VA

  • “This program isn’t just about medical skills—it’s about hope. In Fauquier County, where towns are spread out, being trained and ready can literally be the difference between life and death. I’m proud to be part of it.”

    — Linda P., Delaplane, VA
