Lauren Henry, executive director of the Wayne Hospital Foundation, said the Foundation is able to provide the AEDs at a reduced cost to non-profit agencies through their partnership with Midmark and Spirit Medical Transport. Greenville Rotary also provides funds for the program. The Foundation and its partners pay for two-thirds of the cost and the receiving non-profit pays the other third. Spirit Medical then offers the AED training at no cost to the recipients.

Not only do the non-profits, like Liberty Township Fire, receive the AEDs, the Foundation provides a maintenance program to help replace batteries and pads at a much reduced cost.
