Lifesaving Technology Comes to Clinton County

Thanks to a generous donation from Clinton Country Club, 9 Irons, and BSC Mechanical to Susquehanna Health Foundation, Clinton County residents will soon have access to new lifesaving tools: PulsePoint Respond and PulsePoint AED Registry smartphone apps.

PulsePoint technology comes to Clinton County

Billy Edwards, co-owner of Clinton Country Club and BSC Mechanical, was inspired to support the local EMS responders and community leaders in bringing this technology to the area. “I know our EMS responders are doing everything they can to care for the community, and I wanted to find a way to work with community leaders to support their efforts,” Edwards said.

PulsePoint: Empowering Everyday Heroes

PulsePoint Respond alerts subscribers to emergencies that occur in public, empowering everyday citizens to provide lifesaving assistance to victims of sudden cardiac arrest. The apps also provide users with the location of the nearest accessible AED.

AED locations at your fingertips

Clinton County resources and incidents will soon be available on the apps through a partnership between UPMC, Susquehanna Regional EMS, and the Clinton County Department of Public Safety.

Saving Lives in Clinton County

“This donation has great potential to help save lives in Clinton County,” said Sherry Watts, president of Susquehanna Health Foundation. “Every minute matters in an emergency, and trained bystanders can make an impact before EMS professionals arrive on scene, especially in rural communities like those in Clinton County.”
