AAHPO is currently negotiating with several companies the purchase of Automatic Electronic Defibrillators. The goal is to achieve the best price for our members as well as to have the company chosen, donate several units to our churches. Units will be available for individuals to donate as well.

AEDs are used to save the life of a victim of Sudden Cardiac Arrest. They are specifically designed to allow non-medical personnel with minimal training to successfully defibrillate a victim. And it is safe – it only shocks a patient if a shock is needed. The AED determines if the patient is in Sudden Cardiac Arrest, not the person administering the treatment.

If you or anyone you know would like more information on our programs, please send us an email to info@aahpo.org with your name and a phone number we can reach you.
