Saving Lives

The Via Foundation helps save lives by raising funds for, and placing, automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in schools and communities. Our CPR training and program management solutions give communities the skills and equipment necessary to help prevent unnecessary deaths from sudden cardiac arrest.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest kills more people than lung cancer, prostate cancer, and AIDS combined.


95% of people with SCA die before help can arrive.


The only effective treatment for SCA is defibrillation.


For every minute that passes, chances of survival are reduced by 10%

AEDs don't save lives; people with access to AEDs save lives.

We give communities the tools needed to start and continue a successful public access defibrillation program. Become a Via Partner and learn how to have a successful AED program at your school, business, or community.
