Senate Bill 5083, “Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Act”, brings attention to the fact that Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

The American Heart Association strongly encourages organizations to implement AED programs to increase the chances of survival of heart related emergencies. Effective AED programs use a three-minute round trip from victim to AED and back as a guideline of where to place AEDs in the community.

The AED you choose should be simple and easy to use. HeartLINK recommends the ZOLL AED Plus because it has the lowest cost of ownership over 5 years. It is also the only AED that coaches you and helps you perform CPR.
