A gift from the heart: CCHS gets defibrillator

St. Mary Parish Hospital Service District No. 2 and Ochsner St. Mary donated an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to Central Catholic Hight School. The AED will be used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It is an easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
