In the event of a cardiac arrest, bystanders performing CPR, and when available, using an AED increase the chances of survival. There are nine defibrillators located within Sun City Anthem public spaces. They are all placed in a clearly marked box attached to a wall, with "AED" signs on it. Below are the specific locations of these AEDs:
Anthem Center
Independence Center
Liberty Center
Anthem Tennis/Bocce Courts Area
It is quite easy to use a defibrillator, however it may be intimidating for those without medical training. EPSG offers monthly small classes educating the residents on "Hands-Only CPR and How to Use an AED" which offers practice on training devices. Please visit Emergency Preparedness Training & Education on the home page or send an email to EPSG Training & Education for further information.
You can also find CPR/AED classes offered through local organizations such as The American Red Cross, or City of Henderson. These simple classes help participants overcome the anxiety in cardiac arrest situations and take action - which can help saves lives. You can also look online for simple videos on "How to do Hands-Only CPR" and "How to Use a Defibrillator"
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO BE PREPARED
