Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are proven life savers.   It can make the difference keeping a heart attack patient alive while paramedics are on the way.

St. Vincent Hospital in Fishers announces it is contributing $15,000, allowing the City of Fishers to buy 11 AED units.  They will be placed in city parks and recreational areas.

“If we save just one life from having these devices available in our community spaces, our investment will pay dividends,” said Gary Fammartino, administrator, St. Vincent Fishers, in a news release. “We believe that all members of our community must have access to live-saving devices when they need it most, and we are proud to partner with the City and the Fire and Parks Departments on this important effort.”
