Eagles Mere Gets Two New AEDs Installed at The Sweet Shop and The EM Country Store

The Eagles Mere Historic Village is proud to announce the installation of two new AEDs
(Automated External Defibrillators) for the community. These devices have been placed in The
Sweet Shop and The EM Country Store as a furtherment of the dedication of the Historic
Village’s commitment to the well-being of the community.

An AED is a life-saving device that is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It’s
a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart’s rhythm and, if
necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an
effective rhythm.

The Sweet Shop and The EM Country Store are two central locations in which the AEDs will be
easily accessible. The devices will be regularly maintained and monitored so that, if necessary,
they are always ready to use.

In an event of a medical emergency, the first step is to call 9-1-1. For more on AEDs or to
