I am the organizer of the Mission Hills AED Program. I have raised over $23,000 in the past six months for our Program and just completed a very successful Home Tour fundraiser on Saturday for our AED Program. You should go talk to Gail Lazenby at the Fire Station/Emergency Services on Morse just past 466A as he is the AED guru for The Villages. Volunteers in your neighborhood would be trained on CPR and how to use AED machines and they would respond to an alert when someone calls 911 with a respiratory or coronary attack. Raising money for the AED machines, batteries, Alert System which is connected to 911, Waterproof boxes and metal boxes to hang the machines in the Village are all part of what you fundraise for. The volunteers use the CPR and AED's until the emergency services arrive. It us up to the Village community to raise the funds to run and maintain the program.
