Know AED and STOP THE BLEED Locations
Submitted by Denise Hudgin
The importance of life-saving equipment has been in the news since an automated external defibrillator (AED) was used to resuscitate Buffalo Bills safety, Damar Hamlin. The survival rate of a patient defibrillated within the first 3 minutes of a cardiac arrest approaches 95%. How quickly could you get to an AED at Mercy College? AEDs and STOP THE BLEED kits are located throughout the building. Both items are available at:
6th floor Madison: outside the PA student center
5th floor Madison: by the single elevator/stairwell K/student study rooms
4th floor Madison: by the single elevator/faculty offices/restrooms
3rd floor Madison: by the double elevators around the corner from the open computer lab
2nd floor Madison: by the single elevator between offices 2615 & 2619
1st floor Madison: in the lobby outside the tutor and advisors offices
6th floor Jefferson: near the financial aid offices/down the hall from the learning commons
3rd floor Jefferson: outside the student lounge between the men and women restrooms
2nd floor Jefferson: outside the student lounge around the corner from the main Jefferson elevators
