Other students had immediate family members in mind.
“For me, if my grandpa, he lives up in Idaho..,” said Landon Wells. “Just the feeling that he’ll be safe if anything does happen and an AED can help bring him back to life, it really ensures me so I wanted to bring that to the community here.”
The center says the new AED will significantly boost the capacity to respond swiftly and effectively in situations involving cardiac arrest.
