40 AEDs Deployed Across McKinney

Earlier this month, AED123 deployed 40 AEDs across the City of McKinney (see AED map). AEDs were installed at McKinney's libraries, basketball courts, tennis courts, aquatic centers, golf course, boxing gym, and performing arts center.

AEDs were also installed at the city's many municipal buildings, including its city hall, courthouse, and fire stations.

In addition to an AED, each cabinet includes a Bleeding Control Kit, so lay responders will have access to both of these critical tools for immediate care.

AED123 is proud to serve the City of McKinney in its efforts to create a safer community, and we look forward to implementing many similar partnerships across Texas.
