AED Community Involvement Project

We began this important project in 2006 working to educate the communities on the benefits of Automatic External Defibrillators. We were successful in locating six defibrillators in 2006 thanks to the generosity of people and business throughout the district. A strong Chain of Survival can improve chances of survival and recovery for victims of heart attack, stroke, and other emergencies. To find out how you can help the Chain of Survival in your community during cardiovascular emergencies please contact us at (608) 275-7148.
