You know those AED stations (Automated External Defibrillators) you’ve been hearing about, and seeing across campus? Now’s your chance to learn how they work. The HR Office and UW-Green Bay’s Wellness Committee will offer a 45-minute session at 12:15 p.m. next Tuesday (March 12), and repeat it at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday (March 13), both in the Union’s Christie Theatre. AEDs analyze the heart’s electrical rhythm for abnormalities. When needed, an AED administers a shock to a person suffering from sudden cardiac arrest, increasing survival chances by as much as 75 percent. UW-Green Bay has recently added several more AEDs to bring the campuswide total to 21. You’re invited to bring a lunch to this program in the Lunch and Learn series. Questions may be directed to hr@uwgb.edu. Or visit the blog for details.
