In the event of a potentially catastrophic event, access to an AED and use by trained personnel could make the critical difference in saving a life."Įvery year, SCA claims nearly 350,000 victims a year, leading healthcare experts to advocate placing AEDs in offices, schools, and community recreation facilities.

The donation helps the Eugene baseball complex to enable a greater chance of survival from sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest or Commotio Cordis, the sudden arrhythmic death caused by a chest wall impact that puts athletes partaking in sports with projectiles such as baseballs at particular risk.
