The MCHF recently purchased AED (Automated External Defibrillator) devices for all patrol vehicles in the Fort Bragg Police Department. Rapid AED use delivers a life-saving electrical shock to the heart when it stops or goes into a chaotic rhythm, restoring a normal heartbeat. With survival rates dropping by 7-10% for each minute of delay, prompt defibrillation, ideally within 3-5 minutes, is the only way to convert these life-threatening rhythms, increasing the chances of survival significantly. Fort Bragg police are often the first responders, and now they will have these life-saving tools in their vehicles.

The Mendocino Coast Healthcare Foundation supports organizations that care for the health and wellness of our community.
