About Us
Empowering communities to save lives.
AED Rescue Connect is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest through public access defibrillation, training, and community partnerships.
We believe that every person should have access to the tools and training needed to respond in a cardiac emergency. Our organization was founded on the simple belief that prepared communities save lives.
- Building a community of Life-savers
- Thousands trained in CPR and AED use
- Partnering with schools, small businesses, and nonprofits
Every AED installed represents another life saved — and every person trained becomes a rescuer.

Testimonials
Real Stories, Real Impact
"I have been here for my CPR class twice now and will continue to go when it’s time to renew my certification. The instructors are pleasant, friendly and welcoming, his teaching was easy to follow and he answered all questions promptly. I like how they used his personal experiences to help us understand some of the content. The class is affordable and if your not into bigger crowds I would recommend this class."
