CEO of the International Council on Active Aging. "By deploying an AED program, you are showing your commitment to the health and safety of your active adult community." Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen to anyone, including active adults, at any time--often without warning. Studies show people who exercise are not immune. In fact, a person is at slightly greater risk for experiencing sudden cardiac arrest during and shortly after vigorous exercise.¹ That's why many health clubs, fitness centers, senior centers and personal trainers have installed Philips HeartStart AEDs. HeartStart AEDs are designed to be easy to use and to maintain, and virtually anyone can be trained to operate them. And HeartStart AEDs are the number one portable defibrillator among airlines, in airports and in workplaces worldwide.² In addition to innovative products, Philips offers a comprehensive AED program package. Philips HeartStart Essentials includes site assessment, program management, medical direction, staff training and a range of financing options, enabling you to create an effective, manageable and affordable resuscitation solution for your business.
