Shipshewana Event
Center Receives AED
Visitors and staff at the Shipshewana Event Center and Hostetler’s
Hudson Museum will have a little extra
back up in case of emergency thanks
to an automated external defibrillator
(AED) that is now available on site.
In an emergency, when someone is
having a heart attack, the AED allows
even a lay person to take immediate action, talking the rescuer through each
step of its use. The unit provides the intervention needed to restart a person’s
heart before an ambulance arrives.
For town manager, Mike Sutter,
having this potentially life-saving
equipment available carries special
meaning. Sutter’s family has a long history of heart disease and he, himself,
had a heart attack at the young age of
38. “I’ve learned from personal experience how important each minute can
Roger Yoder, Shipshewana town president, with J.R. Hostetler and Roey Marcon of the Event Center, accept the AED from Parkview LaGrange Hospital president, Rob Myer. Photo submitted by Parkview/LaGrange
be when someone is having a heart
attack ... it can make the difference
between life and death,” Sutter said.
“Knowing the equipment is within
easy reach if one of our guests or staff
members should have a problem is very
important.”
The AED, along with training on
its use supplied by Parkview LaGrange
EMS staff, is a gift funded by Parkview
LaGrange Hospital’s Community
Health Improvement program.
