AED Programs (Automatic External Defibrillators)

AEDs are computerized devices that give an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat.  They are small, portable, and with proper training, easy to use.  The computerized analysis makes the AED easy to use for individuals without a medical background.  The device will recommend a shock for only those victims that will benefit from this treatment.

According to the American Heart Association, sudden cardiac arrest kills 240,000 Americans each year. Nearly ninety-five percent of those who suffer this condition outside a hospital die because AEDs are still not widely available in many public places. With greater access to public defibrillation programs, the American Heart Association estimates that some 50,000 lives could be saved each year.  Health Ed of New England is now a licensed distributor for several major AED manufacturers.  Our associations with various companies gives us access to industry discounts and special offers.  We can offer you discounted prices on our AEDs.
