Tuwanek Launches AED for Community
The Tuwanek Community will be one of the first on the Sunshine Coast to have its own AED (Automated External Defibrillator) thanks to the support of Chris and Krista Cutlan of the Tuwanek Hotel and At The Waters Edge Spa. This new equipment will be located in the office of the Tuwanek Hotel and is available 24/7 for any member of the community in the event of an emergency.
Please note: we are stocking adult pads as well as ped pads for infants.
In the Event of a heart attack response times to Tuwanek are typically 12-20 min reducing the life expectancy of the patient from 95 % down to 5%. This new state of the art AED is easy to use and can dramatically improve the chances of survival until medical emergency response in the event of sudden cardiac arrest.
In the event of an Emergency and Suspected Heart Attack:
- Call 911
- Have someone stay with the patient or call a neighbour
- Go to The Tuwanek Hotel day or night – Ring Office – someone is always available 24/7
- AED is located in Main office area along with a medical first aid kit
- Our staff are trained in the use of the AED as well as our Mangers but please take the time to review the demo as it is designed for public use and everyone should know how it works.
Learn More information about AED:
For more information call Chris or Krista at 604.885.3442
or stop in and we would be happy to demo.
