CLAY COUNTY, Fla. -- What began as a countywide safety initiative one year ago has reached a major milestone. Clay County installed its 200th Automated External Defibrillator (AED) during Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month.
The county launched a large-scale AED installation last October. All new AEDs will open with a code provided by a 911 dispatcher.
Funded through the National Opioid Settlement, this initiative aims to place more than 500 AEDs in high-traffic areas including parks, sports complexes, government buildings, churches, and senior centers.

Each AED kit also contains Narcan, an opioid overdose reversal medication, creating a dual-purpose lifesaving station designed to help in both cardiac and overdose emergencies.
The AED initiative is supported by the Community Paramedicine Program, which offers public training on how to use both AEDs and Narcan. Many of the devices are installed in outdoor or high-visibility areas, while others are equipped inside Clay County Sheriff's Office and county vehicles.
Each AED is remotely monitored for maintenance and will be added to the PulsePoint app, allowing users to locate the nearest device instantly during an emergency.
Clay County will continue to install additional AEDs and host public training sessions to help residents learn how to use them.
