Automatic External Defibrillation units (AED) have the capability to save the lives of employees and visitors in need if placed strategically throughout the Park. Nearly two million individuals visit the Park each year and in recent years the Park staff has treated on average seven cardiac-related emergencies annually. The Park hopes to one day have 23 units which would allow for one to be placed within five minutes of each major tourism area. Accessibility is very important because there is only a ten minute window of time before it is too late to use an AED. This grant funded the addition of four more AED units, which are now located throughout the Park. Funding provided in 2006 with cooperation from Flathead Electric’s Round Up For Safety purchased four additional AEDs that will be housed at the remote locations of Sperry and Granite Park Chalets.
