With the onset of spring, our thoughts turn to renewal and growth, but it's also a time to consider safety. As the season brings more outdoor activities and gatherings, the importance of having accessible Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) cannot be overstated. Did you know that according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention... ❤️🩹Approximately 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes occur every year in the United States. ❤️🩹More than 800,000 people in the United States die from cardiovascular disease each year, about 160,000 of those deaths occurring in people under age 65. ❤️🩹Heart disease kills roughly the same number of people in the United States each year as cancer, lower respiratory diseases (including pneumonia), and accidents combined. This Fundraiser Friday, we hope to complete our original February goal of raising $3,000 to purchase 2 AEDs. So far, we've already raised over $1,300! AED stands for “Automated External Defibrillator" and it's a portable electronic device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest by delivering an electric shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm. AEDs are simple to use, even for those without a background in medicine and are frequently found in public spaces like schools, airports, offices and healthcare settings. It’s designed to automatically analyze a person’s heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock if necessary to restore a normal heartbeat. AEDs can significantly increase a person’s chances of survival. In fact, AEDs can improve the survival rate for people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest by up to 75 percent! The purchase of 2 AEDs will help us in our goal of outfitting all Lancaster EMS vehicles with the device. Join us this Fundraiser Friday as we rally together to raise funds for AEDs, empowering us all to respond swiftly in times of cardiac emergencies. Together, let's make this spring season safer and brighter for everyone. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3), we rely directly on the community we serve for support. Lancaster EMS does not receive direct tax dollars. Will you be a heart hero this April?

What exactly are BRETS, the innovative pajamas we're making for metro-Detroit children who face terminal and chronic illnesses that frequently leave them hospitalized? When most children are admitted to a hospital, they're given bed gowns which can leave them feeling vulnerable and exposed. Our pajamas are designed with snaps in the seems to allow medical staff to attend to the patient while remaining fully clothed. The tops have a v-shaped neck to accommodate medical instruments as well as an opening on the chest for cancer ports or other medical wires or tubes. The bottoms have buttons on the waistline to adjust for any weight changes and have elastic so the patient is comfortable lying down or sitting up. Learn more about BRETS and how you can support our mission. https://bit.ly/3K29yaK #BretStrong #NonProfit #NonProfitLife #Charity #CharitySupport #SocEnt #MakingADifference #CommunityImpact #TogetherWeCan #SupportTheCause #MetroDetroit #OaklandCounty #WayneCounty #MacombCounty #BretBigelowFoundation

Here’s some of those that your donations make the biggest impact on: 🧸 Children and babies – our ward playrooms are fully funded by your donations. That includes toys, sensory room equipment and activities to cheer everyone up 🙂 Patients living with dementia - charitable funds mean that we can do more; whether that's providing dementia-friendly signage on wards to promote independence or even refurbishing an entire ward to promote feelings of comfort, calm and happy times from the past 😴 Exhausted parents – anyone that’s experienced the worry of a child in hospital will know they won’t want to leave their bedside. Recliner chairs mean that mums and dads have somewhere to rest their heads 💁♀️ Enhancements for patients undergoing cancer treatment - if it's beyond the provision of the NHS and we can fund something to make the experience a better one, we'll do what we can. Your donations have funded cooling caps to reduce hairloss and specialist support to provide guidance on preparing for the emotional and physical changes brought on by chemotherapy treatment 💜 Bereaved parents – at the most heart-breaking of times, it’s your donations that fund private and comfortable rooms where our NHS teams can provide the specific care and support needed We support all areas of our hospitals – together we can go further.
