HeartSaver is a program of the Deaconess Heart Hospital and Deaconess Foundation. The group is committed to the mission of reducing sudden death through placement of life-saving automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the Tri-State.



HeartSaver At Work
 

Through the support of community individuals, businesses, and grants, HeartSaver has already placed more than 750 AEDs in the Tri-State.  To date, 11 documented saves have taken place because of access to these lifesaving devices. It's not a matter of if AEDs will be used. It is a matter of when. 


The Need
Sudden cardiac death strikes without warning and chooses its victims at random, without regard to age, gender, health status or history. When AEDs are available, it gives an individual another chance at life.  These devices save lives and anyone can use them. There is no special skill required. 

HeartSaver works to raise funds and place AEDs. Working with area first responders,  churches, schools and other community organizations and individuals, HeartSaver will facilitate the fund raising, purchase, education and placement of AEDs throughout the Tri-State. 

We know AEDs save lives. We can also be confident that the AEDs placed through this program will save a life. That life could be someone you know. It could be someone you love. It could even be your own life. 

Become a HeartSaver
AEDs can only be placed through the support of the community. Your gifts help save lives. Donations in any amount are appreciated.
