Pulse Point is used to dispatch each Village responders. It shows a map of the cardiac arrest location and where the closest AED unit is located.

Our goal is to be at the arrest site within 3 minutes. Villages response time was 5 1/2 minutes last year but the response time to southern new Villages maybe longer than that.
we are south of 44, but in Sumter
