Thank you for visiting our new Internet site.  It is our hope that we will have a part in educating those not familiar with AEDs as to the awesome potential to make a difference in the outcome of out of hospital cardiac arrest.  For those of us who work in prehospital care it is hard to deal with 365,000 to 425,000 deaths per year just in the US -- knowing that without an AED they have an 85% to 98% chance at not being with their loved ones again.  Knowing that if there was only an AED  close the majority of them would live.

In Las Vegas, the casinos went from  losing 92-98% of those that arrested on the floor to saving 70%!  The experience in Chicago at the airports  is nearly as encouraging.  In health clubs, athletic facilities and gyms all over the country  those that would have died are coming back to exercise again due to an AED being required there.  Even one save makes the expense seem trivial, but some clubs have had more then one save!

At present, our web site is still under construction. We are making an effort to present you with our entire spectrum of information and offers as soon as possible. . The emphasis of our site is making available information on why the need for AEDs  in our society.  Why do schools need them when kids are usually healthy, aren't they?  Why do athletic clubs have to have them, don't healthy people primarily use such facilities?

Here you will be able to ask questions, you will be able to brainstorm fundraising ideas, how to get grants, how to make your old AEDs continue protecting life, how to donate an AED or apply to recieve a donated AED.  If this topic is  of interest to you. Check this site later, please.

In the meantime you can reach us toll free at (800) 646-4392 and by fax at (509) 453-6208.  We are looking forward to hearing from you. You can also contact us at our e-mail address: info@AEDAdvocates.com
