Philips HeartStart Defibrillators in the Community

Surviving Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is largely dependent on how quickly a victim is defibrillated. In many communities across the country, and around the world, citizens have joined forces with their municipal leaders and public safety officials to establish public access defibrillation (PAD) programs, allowing volunteer lay responders to treat SCA victims in the first vital minutes before EMS arrive.

Communities have installed Philips HeartStart Defibrillators in places such as shopping malls, golf courses, gyms, senior centers, athletic facilities, parks, libraries, churches, swim centers, schools, and municipal buildings. We can help you do the same. Click here to learn who is using the HeartStart defibrillators.

A successful defibrillation program takes more than just defibrillators; it requires a complete, flexible solution - from
planning and medical direction to training and maintenance. We call these services and products HeartStart Essentials, and they're designed to make defibrillator ownership and program management easy. We can also provide you with tools to educate the public about the dangers of SCA, solicit funding to support your program, recruit volunteer responders, and execute the program.

We'll partner with you, so that your program has the tools and support it needs to be effective.
