Sudden Cardiac Arrest Doesn’t Wait for EMS
Did you know that more than 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside hospitals each year? And the vast majority of those happen in community settings like:
- Sunday services
- Bible studies
- Choir practice
- Youth group activities
- Fellowship lunches
- Outdoor events & fundraisers
When someone collapses in cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR reduces their chances of survival by 7-10%. That’s why early action by a trained bystander — and the use of an AED — is so powerful.
The Case for AEDs in Churches
An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is simple to use, even for someone with no medical background. It tells you what to do, step-by-step, and can safely restore a heart rhythm while help is on the way.
Having one readily available means your church isn’t just spiritually prepared — it’s physically ready to protect its flock.
Trained Volunteers = Community Readiness
At Prepared EMS, we believe every church should have a small team of CPR-certified volunteers — ushers, youth leaders, admin staff, or even deacons — who are ready to respond in an emergency.
Our training is:
- ✅ Fast and hands-on
- ✅ Tailored to your church setting
- ✅ Available evenings and weekends
- ✅ Approved by the American Heart Association
We also help with AED selection, placement, and inspection so your church is fully covered.
“We pray nothing ever happens. But knowing we’re trained — and that the AED is just steps away — gives our entire congregation peace of mind.”
— Pastor, Fullerton Foursquare Church
