The Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay has donated over 50 Automatic External Defibrillators (or AED’s) to the communities of Kauai and Ni’ihau. This life-saving equipment is to be donated and installed in either public or private facilities in population centers with the prolonged response time of emergency 911 personnel. The AED restarts the heart in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest and is a key element in the survival of victims when it is used in conjunction with CPR. The Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay is also working with the Kauai Fire Department to train and familiarize people in the community with CPR and the use of AED’s. Over 300 residents have been trained to use them and administer CPR. This life-saving program is free and available to anyone. To learn more about this program, acquiring an AED, receiving CPR / AED training, or donating money to help support the program, please contact Dr. Jeff Goodman at (808) 828-1470
