Rotary Club of Hanlaei Bay Donates 50 Automatic External Defibrillators

The Rotary Club of Hanlaei Bay is donating 50 Automatic External Defibrillators (or AED’s) to the communities of Kauai and Ni’ihau

This life-saving equipment is to be donated and installed in either public or private facilities in population centers with prolonged response time of emergency 911 personnel. The AED restarts the heart in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest and is a key element in the survival of victims when it is used in conjunction with CPR.
The Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay is also working with the Kauai Fire Department to train and familiarize people in the community with CPR and the use of AED’s. In 2017, this program has already donated and placed 17 AED’s in the community and trained 125 people to use them and administer CPR. Again, this life-saving program is free and available to anyone.
To learn more about this program, acquiring an AED, receiving free CPR / AED training or donating money to help support the program, please contact Dr. Jeff Goodman at (808) 828-1470 or go to their website at www.hanaleirotary.org
