Parish Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Training will be Thursday, June 25, at 7 PM, in the St. Mary, Lone Tree hall.

This is parish wide training for the new AED systems we recently updated. Anyone. and everyone is invited to attend. You will receive instruction on how to operate the AED.

From red cross.org:

"AEDs are used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

The device is designed to be user-friendly, with clear instructions on how to use it in case of an emergency. It's important for everyone to be aware of what an AED is and how to use it, as it could make a difference in saving someone's life.

Sudden cardiac arrest is among the leading causes of death in the United States. In fact, more than 350,000 people will suffer a cardiac arrest this year. Currently, the only way to restore a regular heart rhythm during cardiac arrest is to use an AED."
