An Automated External Defibrillator is now available in the Church vestibule (beyond the glass doors of the main entrance). An AED is a small, portable device, attached to a person's chest with wires, that checks the person's heart rhythm, decides if that rhythm is "off," and gives the heart an electric shock (called a defibrillating shock) that restores the correct, natural rhythm. For more information on how to use the AED, please see aedzoll.com.

General information about AEDs can be found at the AED Encyclopedia Entry.
