Details:
The Portage Health Foundation’s (PHF) mission is to positively influence a healthier community through enhanced philanthropy and collaboration. Over the past year, several requests have been made to acquire Automated External Defibrillator’s (AEDs) throughout the four-county (Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw and Ontonagon) service area. PHF recognized the need for AEDs in the community and have secured a limited supply / one time offering of this lifesaving equipment for distribution. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States. More than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital each year. SCA can happen to anyone at any time. Placing AEDs in key locations, and making sure employees and volunteers are trained to use them, can mean the difference between life and death. This request for AED equipment is specifically addressing PHF’s long-term sustainability goals of building safer communities.
