A BIG thanks to every person, community, public safety department, AED management company and AED manufacturer who has registered a device with PulsePoint AED. Once registered it's part of the National Emergency AED Registry (NEAR) and the information is shared with 911 and nearby responders. 200,000 AEDs and counting! 🎉

"In the Spring of 2023, I responded to a PulsePoint Professional Responder alert for a nearby CPR call while I was off duty. As firefighters we take an oath to protect and serve others --- for me, this oath holds true whether I have the uniform on or not. Responding off duty is something that I never thought twice about. I am so grateful that I have the ability and skills to serve my community in times of need.

Receiving this AED from CoroMed is going to make a huge impact in our community. Fort Collins is working to become a “Heart Safe Community,” meaning there will be 24/7 access to four AED’s that are strategically located, monitored and maintained throughout our city. This AED will complete our four AED’s (thank you PulsePoint and CoroMed!) and be located in a SaveStation in Southeast Fort Collins. Having access to this AED will hopefully make a lasting impact and give our community members the tools they need if they are ever in an emergency situation." -Olivia Deadmond, Poudre, CO

PulsePoint AED – Building a Life-Saving Network

The Regional Old Colony Communications Center is proud to partner with our fire agencies and community members to promote PulsePoint AED – a vital resource that connects people with nearby Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) when every second counts.

Through this program, 911 dispatchers and community members can quickly locate AEDs during cardiac emergencies, helping to save lives before emergency responders arrive.

We’re proud to announce that the Hanover Fire Department, Duxbury Fire Department, and Hanson Fire Department are the first agencies to adopt this life-saving initiative for their towns. Their leadership marks the beginning of a broader effort to expand PulsePoint AED across all ROCCC communities, ensuring that every resident, visitor, and business is part of a stronger, more prepared region.

The public can play a key role by adding AED locations from their homes, businesses, or public spaces. By contributing, you help build a community-wide network that ensures lifesaving equipment is always within reach when it’s needed most.

PulsePoint AED is available through both a website and a mobile app, making it easy to register new AEDs or locate existing ones anytime, anywhere.

Together, we can make our communities safer, stronger, and more connected in the face of cardiac emergencies.

"I learned CPR because I believe in being prepared to help others when seconds matter. When I received the PulsePoint alert, I didn’t hesitate — I knew that even small actions could make a difference in someone’s life. That experience reminded me that ordinary people can be the link between tragedy and survival, and it inspired me to continue encouraging others to learn CPR and get involved in their communities.”

My AED has been placed at The Original Pancake House in Champaign, Illinois, where it will serve both staff and patrons. This location is especially meaningful, as it’s the workplace of the individual I helped who experienced a cardiac emergency in October 2023. Having an AED on-site ensures that, should a similar emergency occur, lifesaving help is immediately accessible to anyone in the restaurant or nearby area.

Thank you for including this story in Project AED365 and for continuing to raise awareness about the importance of CPR and AED access. -Shannon Walter, Champaign, IL

CoroMed winner #7!

Earlier this year Coeur d' Alene a fire fighter/paramedic was visiting Washington state when he received a PulsePoint alert in a Skagit County Costco. He quickly made his way to the gentleman who had gone into cardiac arrest and took over high-quality compressions, which was credited with saving the man's life. In less than a year of being PulsePoint-connected, Coeur d' Alene (as part of Kootenai County, ID) credits two lives saved to the quick actions of PulsePoint responders.

PulsePoint, on behalf of CoroMed, has donated an AED to the city of Coeur d' Alene to be placed by Cherry Hill Park, which houses tennis courts, a disc gold course, playground, dog park and BMX track.

🚨🚨💓Community Safety Convo💓🚨🚨
Hey Anchorage, Got a minute??
Since the beginning of October, AFD personnel and community members registered 72 Automated External Defibrillators (AED) across the Muni. *GREAT JOB*

But there are more out there, we just know it. So many awesome businesses in our community purchase AEDs to keep on hand in case their employees/customers/fellow humans need ⚡jolting⚡ to stay in the land of the living. Now, let's tell our where they are simply by finding them and registering them on the free PulsePoint AED app, or online through https://aedregistry.pulsepoint.org/index.php.

During a cardiac emergency, dispatchers see where registered AEDs are located and can send out an emergency alert notifying members of the public where an AED is closest to the patient in need. (Pretty cool, huh?) But it ONLY works if the AEDs are REGISTERED!

An extra incentive to register (like you need more incentive than helping save a life... am I right?) you can also participate in the PulsePoint AED Contest and potentially win something. (Participants will be entered to win one of ten $500 Amazon gift cards*.)

Thanks for the chat, Anchorage! You're the 🌟BEST🌟.

*The more AEDs individuals register, the more chances they’ll have to win. Individual winners will be notified via the email address associated with their PulsePoint AED account no later than November 17, 2025. Gift cards will be sent electronically. AEDs must be registered between October 1, 2025, and October 31, 2025, to qualify (contest period).
