The Living for Zachary AED donation Program

Automated external defibrillators are portable electronic devices that save thousands of lives each year! The device checks heart rhythm, diagnosis potential heart conditions and sends electrical impulses to the heart and attempts to “shock” it back into regular rhythm.
Because heart disease, illnesses and conditions are becoming more of a concern for patients worldwide, it’s important to realize that disaster can strike at any time. 
Taking precautionary steps can help lower your risk for heart complications, but it’s not guaranteed to keep you safe at all times. That’s why protection methods are just as needed as prevention methods.
Ask your business, school or church to be proactive in installing an AED somewhere within the facility to be available in case of a disaster. AEDs are simple to use, and many call out vocal commands to the user on where to put the sensors and steps to take in order for it to work properly. They’re so easy to use that anyone can save a life and it could just be you. 

Practice protection and prevention, join the cause to get AEDs put in more public spaces.
