AED Grant

The Town of Windsor is the recipient of three Automated External Defibrillators (AED) through a grant from the American Heart Association. The Healthy Community and Healthy People Initiatives prepared applications for six facilities within the Town of Windsor including Sage Park Middle School and the Windsor Senior Center. The Heart Association awarded grants to communities based on schools, Senior Centers, churches and other closely associated programs.

The AED's were purchased through Anthem and given to the Heart Association for placement into the communities.

The AED's will be placed at Windsor High School, Windsor Senior Center and Sage Park Middle School as stated in the grant application. Training for staff members in these facilities will be conducted in the near future and prior to placement of the AED's in these facilities.
