Big News! As students head back to school, Senator Carolyn Comitta and Senator John Kane have secured state funding to complete a project started by Senator Katie Muth to install new AEDs (automated external defibrillators) in every Chester County public school. This investment ensures that schools are equipped to respond to sudden cardiac arrest emergencies, potentially saving lives.

We’re proud to partner with Comitta, Kane, Chester County Intermediate Unit and Aidan's Heart Foundation on this vital initiative. Protecting our students is a team effort, and these AEDs are a critical tool in safeguarding their health.
