Watch Our President Eva Naumovski on Canada AM

,

Mikey Network President Eva Naumovski was on Canada AM this morning speaking with journalist Beverly Thomson about our Mikey Young At Heart app. Eva talked about how our new app helps remove the fear of using a defibrillator and makes people feel more comfortable using the device in the event of a cardiac emergency.

Not only does the app educate, it also allows Ontario high school students to earn the volunteer hours they need to graduate. The Mikey Young At Heart app will teach thousands of students CPR/AED, making them more confident to use an AED or administer CPR, should the need ever arise.

Are you a high school student looking to complete your 40 hours of volunteer time?

31 Lives Have Now Been Saved By A Mikey

Terrific news! Another life has been Saved By A Mikey!

Last Friday, January 15, 2016, at Agincourt High School, a 72 year old man collapsed between Badminton games. He unfortunately went into cardiac arrest, but luckily, a MIKEY AED was on hand.

Bystanders applied the MIKEY and began CPR. The Fire Department and Advanced Care Paramedic crew arrived and continued compressions. At the end of 2 minutes of CPR, a pulse was detected. Our latest Mikey Save is doing well. He says he is happy to be alive and is thankful for those that helped him.

This MIKEY was placed at the school as part of our Mikey Young At Heart Program. This makes 31 lives that have now been Saved By A Mikey! That’s why it’s so important to place AEDs in as many public places as possible. We want to make sure this life-saving device is available should the need arise.
