On May 21, 2024, Neil Sikes went into cardiac arrest at his home. First responders arrived to find him without a pulse and not breathing. They began CPR and worked non-stop for 50 minutes to revive him. Once he regained a pulse and was stabilized, he was transported to the hospital and has since made a full recovery! In honor of this life-saving event, Sedgwick County EMS held a cardiac arrest survivor meet and greet where the crews from Sedgwick County EMS and Wichita Fire Department had the honor to meet Neil and his family. We are grateful that Neil allowed us to come together and celebrate his second chance at life.
