July 29, 2024, Press Release from the Ohio Department of Public Safety: (COLUMBUS, Ohio) – The Ohio Department of Public Safety and Ohio Division of Emergency Medical Services have launched a statewide campaign called Every Minute Counts that encourages all Ohioans to learn basic bystander care. It can often take two minutes before bystanders realize someone is suffering a medical emergency.  Each minute that passes without bystander intervention decreases the chances of survival significantly.
