Life Saving Device Placement

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) strikes more than 350,000 Americans each year — nearly one death every two minutes. Giving CPR and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) early nearly doubles the chance of survival. For each minute without such treatment, the chance of survival decreases 7–10 percent.

The Iowa Heart Center Foundation program awards AEDs to Iowa businesses and organizations in an effort to increase survival rates for people who experience SCA. 

AED placement request applications are reviewed on a quarterly basis.
