AED Institute of America, Inc. is an experienced professional company that takes great interest in saving lives. Our company is comprised of doctors, emergency room nurses, lifeguards, firefighters, and healthcare professionals. On a daily basis most of our supporters, while on their everyday job, save lives.  We have taken this love of life to the public setting and are promoting the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in any location they are needed.  We are happy to assist you with establishing your own Public Access to Defibrillation Program (PAD) for your business or organization.  Our company is able to provide you with everything you will need for a successful program. We handle the site survey and placement of AEDs, CPR/AED training, policies and procedures, and medical oversight. 

    Currently, AED Institute provides services in both California and Hawaii. Take a look at our News page to learn about our programs and read about new developments in CPR and AED use. We are pleased to announce we have added our quarterly newsletter, Shocking Truth, to our website. Take a look!
