This evening, the New Castle County Paramedics celebrated their 14th annual cardiac arrest survivor reunion.

This event allows survivors of cardiac arrest to meet the personnel and civilians who contributed to the success of early CPR and defibrillation that saved their lives.

New Castle County had over 700 cardiac arrests due to a fatal heart rhythm in 2025, with an over 11% success rate, above national standards, where the patient achieved ROSC, or Return Of Spontaneous Circulation, where then heart begins to beat on its own again.

Several of our crews had responded to incidents with successful cardiac arrest saves.

This evening, Joseph Haigh, Andrew Hatfield, Jezebel Marks, AJ McCarthy, Rian Salter, and Lt. Jakob Thomas were recognized, with two being able to meet their patient.

You can learn CPR and you can download the PulsePoint app to be notified of a nearby CPR call out to help.
