Over the past three years, 18 people have died on school grounds in Maricopa County, deaths related to heart rhythm disorders which are often the cause of SCD. As a result, the CAI conducts a campaign to contribute Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), in conjunction with Desert AED and the SHARE program of the Arizona Department of Health Services, to schools and other public venues whenever and wherever possible with a to-date donation valued at approximately $80,000. The goal is to allow CPR and EMS professionals to respond and save more lives.
