A cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, anytime and to anyone. Knowing where the closest Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is could save a life.
The Emergency Health Services (EHS) AED Registry Program connects Nova Scotians and volunteer community responders with AEDs in the community, to quickly respond to cardiac arrests.
We’ve partnered with GoodSAM Medical to improve the registry and our volunteer community responder network.
Register your AED to be included on the EHS AED map. Become a volunteer community responder and you could save someone in cardiac arrest.
