If you haven’t heard of it yet, the PulsePoint initiative is getting the county set up on PulsePoint, a smartphone app that matches people trained in CPR and the use of AEDs — automated external defibrillators — to victims of sudden cardiac arrest. The PulsePoint dispatch center immediately alerts CPR-trained individuals about nearby cardiac arrest events, and also lets them know the location of the closest AEDs. AED’s would also be strategically placed around Sandpoint. Contact us if you would like to donate specifically to this initiative.
