UPEI installs AEDs in all buildings across campus

The University of Prince Edward Island recently installed 18 new automated external defibrillators (AEDs) across campus, ensuring that all buildings have at least one AED in them. AEDs can be used by anyone to treat sudden cardiac arrest, explains UPEI. The university has also secured two mobile AED units for rapid response, which are kept near Alumni Canada Games Place and the Artificial Turf Field due to the level of physical activity at these locations. “By equipping all buildings with these devices […] UPEI is helping to empower the campus community to take swift action when it matters most,” said UPEI Health, Safety, and Environment Manager Liz Rostant MacArthur.
