All Haywood County Schools are now equipped with lifesaving Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) thanks to a special effort by Haywood County Health and Human Services’ Public Health Services Division.
We were able to provide AEDs to the four schools that didn’t already have one — ensuring that every single school has these vital devices on hand in case of an emergency.
AEDs can analyze heart rhythm and deliver a shock if needed, helping restore a normal heartbeat. When paired with CPR, they can double or even triple the chances of survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
