HOW TO USE A DEFIBRILLATOR
At Frankfort United Methodist Church, we've installed an automated external defibrillator (AED) outside the sanctuary. Recognizing the vital importance of AED knowledge in emergencies, we're dedicated to equipping our community with life-saving skills. To further our commitment to safety and well-being, we encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with AED operation. As part of this effort, we've provided a helpful instructional video demonstrating proper usage.
Let's come together to empower each member with the knowledge to potentially save a life in times of need. Your readiness could be the difference between tragedy and triumph in a critical moment.
