July 15, 2016 - The Mariposa County Health Department has great news!
Public Access Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are now available in the following Mariposa Government Buildings:
Mariposa Government Center, Board of Supervisor’s Lobby
Mariposa Community Services, Senior Activity Center Lobby
Mariposa Human Services Center, Main Lobby
Mariposa Ag Complex, Ag Complex Lobby
During an emergency, the AED is easy to access and can be found in an enclosed, wall mounted, white case clearly labeled “AED.”
AEDs are easy to use and can help save a life! When someone collapses and does not look like they are breathing, call 911 immediately.
If an AED is available, bring the AED to the victim’s side, push the ‘on’ button and follow the voice prompts – NO special training needed.
If you have any questions, comments, or would like to know more about AEDs, please call the Mariposa County Health Department at 209-966-3689 or 800-459-4466.
