Note to editors
Enactus 91传媒 will launch HeartStarter, on Friday, Feb. 7, at 11 a.m. in the RBC Atrium at the Faculty of Business Administration on 91传媒’s St. John’s campus.
HeartStarter blends technology with community impact by using drones to deliver life-saving automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to people experiencing cardiac arrest who don’t have immediate access to medical care.
The group of 91传媒 undergraduate students also aims to use the project to impact public health through education about heart disease and by advocating for a provincial AED registry.
Jonathan Kirby, manager, government relations and health promotion, Heart & Stroke Foundation, and Sarah Stoodley, member, House of Assembly (Mount Scio), are expected to speak at the event as well as members of Enactus 91传媒.
Please note: If there is a campus closure due to weather on Friday, Feb. 7, this event will be rescheduled to a later date.
