BENTON, Ark.- A Benton baseball player’s life was saved after coaches used an Automated External Defibrillator or AED machine on him to shock his heart.
Now, years later, that player is working with Saline Memorial to get more defibrillators in Saline County schools.
The Arkansas School AED law requires that each campus has an automated external defibrillator; and appropriate school personnel is adequately trained.
The fundraiser is adding more AED’s to campuses to make them more accessible.
