Amazingly, administering a defibrillator within three minutes of a cardiac arrest increases the chances of survival to as high as 90 percent! Unfortunately, few citizens can quickly find the exact location of a defibrillator, even if very close by.

Starting Hearts’ Nearest DEFIB™ program increases access to a defibrillator in public & private places. We do this with a mobile app called PulsePoint.  Starting Hearts’ Nearest DEFIB™ program increases access to defibrillators in public and private places. We do this with a free mobile app called PulsePoint. We pay the annual license fee for our communities and we manage the database for every defibrillator. This provides our citizens immediate information to quickly locate and retrieve the nearest defibrillator when needed, providing a lifesaving device when desperately needed. We also continue to place defibrillators everywhere in public in the communities we serve.

We gratefully receive donations then arrange installation in highly-trafficked public locations. We even use state-of-the art temperature controlled cabinets to insure, no matter the weather and temperature, our defibrillators are always ready when needed. Defibrillators save lives and Starting Hearts’ Nearest DEFIB™ program continues to place more and more of these lifesaving devices where needed. Want to personally or corporately sponsor a defibrillator? We’ll recognize your donation with your name or dedication for up to five years on the front of one or more of our publicly-placed cabinets. Please contact us at info@startinghearts.org for more information.
