Bless our hearts! An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a critical piece of equipment that can help save lives during an emergency. AEDs are used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

Safety precautions are of the utmost importance at Gibbs Farm. Your $50 contribution towards the purchase of a $1,500 AED for the Annex Office building will free up financial resources to augment student and guest experiences.

Note: Gibbs Farm does have one AED for use on site. However, the site encompasses eight acres and every second counts during an emergency.
