Public Access Defibrillators

Perth County Emergency Services and the County of Perth have worked with the HSFO and its partners Cowan Insurance and the Trillium Foundation of Ontario to place 46 Automatic external defibrillators (AED) in public buildings across the County.  This has all been possible due to overwhelming support from City of Stratford, The Town of St Marys, The Municipality of North Perth, Municipality of West Perth, Township of Perth South and Township of Perth East, as well as both The Huron Perth Catholic School Board and the Avon Maitland District School Board, and with generous contributions from the Rotary Club of Stratford, The Festival Theatre, Hog Jog of Stratford and public donations.

If you would like more information on the Provincial Program, the 21 lives saved to date, CPR events, or the chain of survival, visit http://www.heartandstroke.ca

Public automated external defibrillator registration program

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that analyzes a victim's heart rhythm and, if necessary, allows a rescuer to deliver an electrical shock to the victim of sudden cardiac arrest. Public access defibrillators are available for use by anyone although training in the use of an Automated External Defibrillator is recommended.  Ambulance dispatchers can talk bystanders through the use of an automated external defibrillator in an emergency situation until paramedics arrive.

Perth County Paramedic Service can register your facilities public access defibrillator (PAD) with the 911 ambulance dispatch agency. This can ensure that a caller to 911 ambulance dispatch has the information required to make a difference.

Register your public access defibrillator(s)

Community PAD loaner program

The chance of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest is about 7% with no intervention.  CPR alone increases the percentage of survival to approximately 37%.  CPR together with early defibrillation increases this percentage to approximately 57%.  The Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) program recognizes the importance of CPR and defibrillation and in such has delivered training to approximately 550 individuals throughout Perth County.

The PAD Loaner program allows the general public located within the boundaries of the County of Perth to borrow an automated external defibrillator (AED), at no cost, for short-term community, family events or when awaiting serious medical treatments and increased chances of cardiac arrest at home are likely.

Suggestions for loaner AED events include:

  • family reunions

  • concerts

  • fragile medical conditions awaiting treatment or transplant

  • golf outings

  • group nature walks

  • races
  • festivals
  • weddings
  • large gatherings

Please call 519-271-0531 ext. 520 to reserve your date.
