Posted January 30th, 2009 by SCAFoundation

Churchill County Junior High School nurse Janice Meroth saved the life of a student who had a cardiac emergency in December.
The close call prompted the school board to approve the purchase of two automated external defibrillators (AED) and accessories for both the junior and senior high schools.

The Reviving Hearts Program

The Reviving Hearts Program has been designed by the Cardiovascular Research and Education Foundation of Indiana (CREFI) and The Care Group.
The goal of this community program is to place over 400 Automated Electronic Defibrillators (AEDs) into Indiana High Schools over five years. (details here)  
To date over 20 AEDs have been deployed.

This year they are holding a Dining A La Heart Fundraiser to benefit the placement of AEDs, with training and follow up procedures, in local high schools—for every $2500 raised one more school can be “protected”.
