Dan ChamberlainGUEST
I do the same thing with all my equipment in my offices.
Dan ChamberlainGUEST
We check our AEDs, our first aid kits, everything like that every month, even though I know they're not expiring, right, because I've done it enough times.
Dan ChamberlainGUEST
I still check it just to make sure something hasn't gone into it, something has gone bad, something like that.
Dan ChamberlainGUEST
It's just general.
Scott SellsGUEST
Following the candlelight on an upcoming weekend thereafter, the boys wanted to raise money for an organization called the Georgia Arrhythmia Foundation.
Scott SellsGUEST
And the Georgia Arrhythmia Foundation does an annual 5K where they raise the majority of the funds that supports their operation in Macon, Georgia, distributing AEDs and teaching CPR and raising awareness for sudden cardiac arrest.
Scott SellsGUEST
They wanted to raise money as one of their coping mechanisms to losing Mason for this organization's 5K.
Scott SellsGUEST
And so they held a powder puff game.
6 MINS LATER
Scott SellsGUEST
And so through doing some research, we looked into an event happening with the American Heart Association.
Scott SellsGUEST
The American Heart Association was putting on their big event for the year in Atlanta.
Scott SellsGUEST
The coach at that time for the Atlanta Falcons was, I think, Raheem Morris is his name, who was passionate about AEDs because he actually saved a three-year-old girl with one at an event.
Scott SellsGUEST
I don't know exactly the surrounding nature of the event, but he used one.
Greg FranciscoGUEST
Well, this event's very important to me because I think it's really important to create awareness and be able to teach people how to help themselves in the event of a heart emergency.
Greg FranciscoGUEST
So being able to teach people about CPR and how to use AEDs to be able to support someone, again, in the event of an emergency can help save people's lives in the long run.
Greg FranciscoGUEST
And it's really important and impactful to create awareness and, again, the ability for people to do that.
Greg FranciscoGUEST
You know, it's a beautiful day out here.
Jordan FeigenbaumHOST
And somebody grabs a defibrillator less than 30% of the time.
Jordan FeigenbaumHOST
And it's like, okay, well, maybe if more people were trained in CPR and if AEDs were more available, maybe that would really move the needle.
Jordan FeigenbaumHOST
And then nobody's talking about cost,
Austin BarakiHOST
really.
Lewis NormoyleHOST
And then we can actually go into some of the bleed control kits that you guys are doing and some of the awareness that's needed.
Lewis NormoyleHOST
Because I think AED, although there's not many competent people that are confident using them, bleed kits is probably even less well-known, let's say, compared to AEDs that have been, since sort of the mid-2000s, been a bit more...
Lewis NormoyleHOST
in the public domain and on the news and campaigns have been going on about them so yeah maybe because of a background about your charity bleed map but also um yeah some of the services that turtle medical offer in that in that respect yeah
Mike DowsonGUEST
Yeah, well, if I can jump back to the beginning of it all, really, where Bleakets came from briefly.
Genevieve Norris-BrownGUEST
They have so many seconds to clear the area.
Genevieve Norris-BrownGUEST
They have so many seconds to administer the AEDs.
Genevieve Norris-BrownGUEST
It's a whole team thing.
Genevieve Norris-BrownGUEST
And they either meet exceeds or fails.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They've got gas masks and safety gear ready at every station just in case.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Seventh, AEDs are everywhere too.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They really make sure the golden hour is protected to save lives.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Eighth, check the floor.
Teresa BurkeHOST
Commissioners heard from a Sartell nonprofit called Advocates for Health, which helps bridge gaps between when a medical emergency happens and when emergency medical staff arrive.
Teresa BurkeHOST
So far, the organization has 350 public access safety cabinets with AEDs in six states.
Teresa BurkeHOST
Grab a copy of today's paper to learn more about the nonprofit.
Teresa BurkeHOST
From former Dispatch publisher Terry McCullough's column, This Was Brainerd, Exploring the Dispatch Archives, here's today's tidbit of local history, brought to you by Mills Automotive Group.
Jeremy OlsonGUEST
Some of the tools that the Minnesota State High School League allows to give back to their member districts by seeing who would like to apply for these funds.
Jeremy OlsonGUEST
We use these funds for things like student transportation, various different, like the AEDs, I forgot what they're even called, but they're life-saving devices, basically, that we have in case a student or a spectator would have a cardiac issue.
Jeremy OlsonGUEST
We have those in place in schools, and so we purchase those through those monies.
Jeremy OlsonGUEST
So that's kind of some of the items we've used these dollars for.
Bowie SinclairGUEST
I have a dream of getting a grant to put an AED in a couple dungeons around here.
Bowie SinclairGUEST
But AEDs are pretty expensive.
Bowie SinclairGUEST
They're in the $2,000 to $3,000 range.
Bowie SinclairGUEST
And there's no way that grant would get funded.
