Mikeys Young At Heart School Defibrillator Program

The MIKEY’s installed under the The Mikey’s Young at Heart School Defibrillator Program are available to hundreds of high school and continuing education students, their teachers and school staff. The life-saving potential is even greater when you consider that schools form the heart of our communities. MIKEYS will also benefit all of the individuals and neighbourhood groups who regularly attend meetings, play sports, vote at their local polling stations, and participate in other special events held on school property.

To date, over 250 MIKEYS have been placed in High Schools including the Toronto District School Board, Halton District School Board, Halton Catholic District School Board and Limestone District Schoolboard. More importantly, students have already been saved by a MIKEY because of this important program.
