Most people picture cardiac arrest happening in a hospital, with a crash cart and a code team rushing in. The reality is very different. According to the American Heart Association, 73% of cardiac arrests that happen outside a hospital happen at home.
At home, there is no code team down the hall. The first person who can start CPR is usually the one already in the room. For thousands of families in South Florida, that person is a caregiver.
The first few minutes decide everything
The American Heart Association says that CPR, performed right away, can double or triple a person’s chance of surviving a cardiac arrest. Yet only about 40% of people who collapse outside a hospital receive CPR from someone nearby before professional help arrives.
At home, the caregiver is the first responder. That is why certification can’t be optional.
A caregiver who knows what to do, and has practiced it with their hands, can turn the worst minutes of a family’s life into a second chance. That is the whole reason behind our commitment.
Our commitment: every caregiver certified
FHC is nurse-led, and we hold ourselves to a simple rule: anyone caring for a patient should be ready for the moment nobody wants to face. That means current CPR and BLS certification. No exceptions.
Price shouldn’t be the reason a caregiver lets a card expire. So we’re taking it off the table.
