Project AED365 Aims to Empower
Communities, Youth Organizations, First Responders, and more by
Providing Lifesaving Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)
Alongside Comprehensive Emergency Training and Equipment to Address
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
FRANKLIN, Tenn., Dec. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Coro Medical, the leading
provider of life-saving medical devices, today announced it is
preparing to roll out Project AED365—a nationwide effort to donate
365 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) over the next
year.
"At Coro Medical, we believe every second counts in a cardiac
emergency. Project AED365 reflects our commitment to making
life-saving technology accessible to communities across the
nation," said Travis Harris, CEO, Coro Medical. "By
partnering with industry leaders and local organizations, we aim to
ensure that no community is left unprepared when it matters
most."
Project AED365 is a national initiative dedicated to
enhancing public safety, with Coro Medical committing to donate one
AED each day for the next 365 days to selected organizations,
communities, and individuals. Coro Medical is partnering with ZOLL
Medical to provide ZOLL AED 3s for
Project AED365. This collaboration ensures the availability of
high-quality defibrillators to support the initiative's mission of
equipping communities with life-saving devices.
"ZOLL is proud to participate in the life-saving Project AED365,
to help make our AEDs accessible to more youth programs and
communities in need. During an emergency, ZOLL AEDs are designed so
anyone can follow the step-by-step instructions to administer
high-quality CPR and deliver a shock to a victim, with real-time
feedback that helps deliver the best outcome. Getting
more AEDs in more public places where emergencies could happen
and increasing the public's understanding that these devices are
designed to help them, help others in an emergency, is critical to
protecting the heartbeat of our communities. Providing the
resources, education and equipping more of our communities with
AEDs, empowering unexpected, ordinary people with the confidence to
act is a life-saving legacy that we are humbled and proud to be a
part of." Said Troy Pflugner, Group
Vice President, ZOLL Medical.
In addition, Coro Medical is collaborating with HSI to donate
one free Remote Skill Verification (RSV) training with every AED.
RSV is a revolutionary new way to get full certification training
in CPR, AED, and First Aid from a live, authorized HSI Instructor.
Furthermore, LifeVac, the creators of the innovative, non-powered,
non-invasive airway clearance device, will also be donating one
airway clearance device with every donated AED. This initiative
ensures recipients have access to life-saving devices and emergency
medical training.
"The HSI team is excited to collaborate with CoroMed and ZOLL
Medical on Project AED365. It's well known that effective bystander
CPR and defibrillation with an AED immediately after sudden cardiac
arrest can more than double a victim's chance of survival, said
Anthony Corwin, HSI General Manager,
Emergency Care. "This is one of the reasons HSI is donating Remote
Skills Verification (RSV) training with every donated AED. RSV is
fully remote CPR, AED, and First Aid certification training with a
live, authorized HSI Instructor. At HSI, we believe having AEDs and
quality training should be part of every organization's emergency
plan."
"LifeVac is honored to partner with Coro Medical to make
donations to the community that can save a life. It's organizations
such as these that change the world," Arthur Lih, CEO &
Inventor, LifeVac.
According to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation, sudden
cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death among adults over the
age of 40 in the United States,
and studies have shown that survival rates can be as high as 70% if
an AED is used within 2 minutes of collapse, highlighting the
urgent need for accessible AEDs in public spaces.
Communities, organizations, and individuals are encouraged to
visit Project AED365 to submit AED donation requests. This
initiative underscores Coro Medical's commitment to advancing
public safety and equipping communities with essential tools and
knowledge to save lives, solidifying their role as a trusted leader
in health and safety.
