Derry Church Has Three AEDs!
May 8, 2024Here at Derry Church we now have three wall-mounted AEDs* that are charged and ready for use:
- In the hallway between the kitchen and Fellowship Hall
- In the hall outside the Hammond Library and the Chapel
- On the lower level hallway by Room 5
Each AED cabinet is equipped with an AED, responders kit, extra pads, and an overdose kit.
If you would like to learn more about how to use the AED or the overdose kit, feel free to contact our Faith Community Nurse Beckie Freiberg and she will show you what to do.
*An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It’s a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
