New AED in the Commons area


St. Francis Memorial Hospital provided a new Automated External Defibrillator (AED)to Bancroft-Rosalie this week. The new AED, manufactured by Zoll, will be identical to those used by St. Francis Hospital and Bancroft Rescue. This will provide for better patient care when transferring between Bancroft-Rosalie School, Bancroft Rescue and St. Francis since the AED pads used will be compatible with all three groups involved. Before, AED pads would need to be removed and new ones put on at each phase of the transfer.

Hopefully this new machine will never need to be used.
