Osceola Hills North AED Program
We have designed and implemented an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) program here in Osceola Hills North. Our program consists of 3 AED units strategically placed throughout our neighborhood. We have roughly 12 volunteer trained responders.
​
Briefly, this is how the program operates: If there is an emergency call to 911, the 911 dispatcher will determine whether or not to call our responder team. If it appears to be a cardiac event and the patient is unresponsive, the responder team will be called. You must call 911 first. The responders can only act from a call from the Ready Alert System activated by the 911 dispatcher. The responders prime task is to administer CPR first, then determine if the AED unit is to be employed. Emergency personnel will take over as soon as they arrive to the scene.
​
There is an ongoing expense to facilitate this program. Costs include maintaining the AED units and a monthly charge for the 911 Ready Alert System, which is overseen by The Villages Safety Department. We initially asked each household to contribute $100 toward expenses. We encourage new and old households, who have not participated and would like to help fund this life saving program, to contribute. Past contributing households are welcome to contribute additional donations. Checks can be made out to OHN AED Program and mailed or dropped off to:
