GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — February is American Heart Month and the Green Bay Area Public Schools facilities department is working to ensure the well-being of students, staff, athletes, and visitors.
The District has purchased 66 of the Zoll AED 3Ⓡ units to replace the current AED units in the schools, as well as additional dedicated units for athletic trainers.
Benefits of the new units include:
- A 5-year life battery life
- Full-color rescue images
- The unit uses the same pads for a child or adult
- The digital display provides “Real CPR Help” which measures the depth and rate of compression.
“Over the years, the District has been fortunate to have AEDs in our buildings,” stated Safety and Security Manager Chris Collar. “The decision to replace all of our AEDs at one time allows the District to have uniformity in training of our staff and in purchasing replacement parts.”
Since 1963, February has been proclaimed American Heart Month to acknowledge the importance of the ongoing fight against cardiovascular disease.
