The Historic Triangle PAD program is a
community-wide effort to save lives by increasing
community awareness of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA),
a leading cause of death in the United States, and
by making defibrillation accessible to SCA victims
within 3-minutes of collapse. |

We
welcome you to this website which highlights the
many successes of the Historic Triangle Public
Access to Defibrillation
program. Our program is the result of several local
civic, non-profit and governmental organizations
with a vision to make our community a safer place to
live, work and play.
With $500,000 in grant funds
from Williamsburg Community Health Foundation,
we have begun a major campaign to identify and
install AEDs throughout the community for
designated trained responders to use in the event of
a sudden cardiac arrest event. By strategically
placing these units throughout the community,
trained citizen rescuers can greatly increase the
chance of survival. The few minutes saved by those
able to use this equipment can literally mean the
difference between life and death.
