Lanark County Paramedic Services is offering discounts to organizations wishing to purchase AED equipment or replacing existing units.
They’re also encouraging defibrillator owners to register their devices with the LCPS 9-1-1 registry so dispatchers know where they are in the event of a cardiac event.
When used within the first few minutes of a heart attack, AED’s alongside CPR increase the survival rate up to 75%.
Interested parties for AED purchase or registration can contact the LCPS at publicaccessdefib@lcps.care.
