Connecting Islanders with AED Maintenance and Training

AEDs (Automatic External Defibrillators) are lifesaving devices that can deliver an electric charge in order to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm, increasing the survival rate of cardiac arrests by up to 70%.

In partnership with Salt Spring Fire/Rescue, Lady Minto Hospital Foundation has worked since 2012 to facilitate the installation and maintenance of AEDs on Salt Spring, with over 40 AEDs installed across the island to date.

Help save a life. Take an AED training and familiarize yourself with all AED locations so that you can retrieve a unit quickly when needed.

Training

Almost anyone can use an AED. Step-by-step automated voice instructions are built into the unit, and AEDs are designed to only deliver an electric charge to someone in cardiac arrest.

Still, training can be helpful, is widely available, and only takes about twenty minutes. Training can be arranged through CRD Salt Spring Island or Salt Spring Adventure Company.

The late Beth Weston was deeply involved in the AED program at Lady Minto Hospital and was for years our certified Red Cross Trainer. Beth felt passionately about the effectiveness of AEDs and was the driving force behind the Island’s AED program, which continues to save lives to this day.
