HANOVER COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- On Tuesday, in a beautiful moment of gratitude, a man reunited with the Hanover County first responders who helped save his life in late April.
On Saturday, April 26, crews with the Hanover County Fire-EMS Department responded to a report of a cardiac arrest.
When they arrived, they found that the patient's family had already begun CPR. First responders took over and provided additional medical intervention to the patient.
Months later, on Tuesday, July 15, the patient and his family paid a visit to those first responders.
