What is an AED:
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a computerized medical device that checks heart rhythm, recognizes whether a shock is required, and administers a shock if needed. AEDs use voice prompts, lights, and text messages to guide rescuers through the process.

Long-Term Goal: To ensure all places where people work, worship, and play have an AED available in case of emergency.

Background: The Foundation's work is guided by the Community AED Act (2000) and the Cardiac Arrest Survival Act (2000), which authorized public access defibrillation programs and extended "Good Samaritan" protections.
