Amy has turned her cardiac arrest survival into service, ensuring there are more survivors and less statistics.

Amy is alive because bystanders became responders and her community invested in cardiac arrest education and response.

Amy Vollman is alive today because someone was ready.

While out for a run in September 2023, Amy suffered sudden cardiac arrest and collapsed in a rosemary bush. A couple driving by called 911 and immediately began CPR. A PulsePoint Foundation responder was alerted to the situation and administered high-quality CPR at the scene. Minutes later, EMS arrived and used an AED to restore her heartbeat — giving Amy a second chance at life.

Today, Amy leads the SCAF Oregon chapter, turning her survival into purpose. She trains, teaches, and inspires others to be prepared to save a life, hosting community trainings and raising awareness about the power of CPR and AEDs.

Stories like Amy’s remind us why our mission matters — and why your support is critical.
This year-end, please consider donating to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation to help more people survive and more communities be ready.

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.
