Three years ago Jordan Health Services donated funds for the replacement of 13 automated external defibrillators (AEDs). AEDs are used by police officers and fire & rescue personnel if they happen upon an emergency where a person’s heart may have stopped. These AEDs are particularly valuable in rural communities where an ambulance may take longer to reach the patient and render aid. When the sheriff’s department received the notice that they had to replace the units carried in the Mount Vernon and Franklin County law enforcement patrol vehicles, Chief Deputy, Richard Alexander contacted JHS. JHS supports the community and is always willing to donate where there is a need, so they were excited to hear about this opportunity. In March 2009, Chief Deputy Richard Alexander and Sheriff Paul Fletcher accepted a check for $500 from JHS representatives Dana Pine and Melanie Matkin for the battery cost.
