Pictured above to receive the devices, from left to right are Sue Gallagher (Child, Health, and Safety Manager, Hockenberry Family, Mary Catherine Piper (Child Development Home-based Manager), and Yvonne Price (Child, Health, and Safety Supervisor).
On February 3, 2025, almost 6 months after the Hockenberry family tragically lost their son to a choking accident, Owen’s Mission donated 24 LifeVac devices to Head Start/Early Head Start of Fayette County.
These 24 devices will be distributed to each of the buildings and 23 classrooms throughout Fayette County.

LifeVac is a portable suction rescue device developed for clearing an airway obstruction of a choking victim.
HS/EHS of Fayette Co. cannot thank the Hockenberry family enough for thinking of our program by providing lifesaving resources to us in their time of loss.
