Barry Landon, President of Southwest Ambulance said, "Deploying AEDs in the communities we serve will be an important mandate for our organization in the coming months and years. There is ample data indicating that AEDs in businesses and public places make a significant impact on survival rates when it comes to sudden cardiac arrest. Making sure that the community is aware of these benefits and has access to these devices is an important contribution that we can bring to each community in which we operate." Landon continued, "We selected Cardiac Science because of their innovative AED products and demonstrated success with these types of public-access defibrillator marketing partnerships. This program affirms our mission of providing the highest level of emergency medical transportation services and education to the residents of the communities we serve."
