If you want to call it a "craze", it's a darn good one. People in your neighborhood ban together, train together and donate enough money to purchase, install and maintain the AED. Then there are the neighbors who have volunteered to respond to a call from the 911 center. These neighbors will give what assistance is needed until the emergency responders arrive. We are trained and certified in CPR and trained to use the AED. This "craze" could save your life if you were to go into sudden cardiac arrest. When you think of the size of The Villages, the placement of the emergency responders and the road system we have you will appreciate the response time of your neighborhood volunteers. To save one life makes the whole venture worthwhile.
