How to Bring an AED to Your Community

Whether you have funds or not, there are many ways to be a hero in your community.

It doesn’t cost much to make a life-saving investment for sudden cardiac arrest and protecting the ones you love.

Donating an AED can potentially save someone's life by providing immediate treatment for sudden cardiac arrest.

Advocating for AEDs in all public areas can increase survival rates and save lives in the communities you care most about.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that analyzes the heart rhythm and delivers an electric shock to the heart if it detects a life-threatening rhythm.

The device uses adhesive electrode pads placed on the victim's chest to detect the heart's electrical activity and deliver a shock if needed.

The AED is designed to be used by non-medical personnel and can be found in public places, such as airports, malls, and schools, to improve the chances of survival of people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.
