Bone & Joint Care Center Donates AED to The Friends of Reading Hospital

Reading Hospital has announced the donation of two AEDs that will be part of The Friends of Reading Hospital’s HeartSAFE Berks County AED Loaner Program, which allows community organizations to rent this lifesaving technology at no cost. The donation comes from two local organizations within Berks County: The Bone and Joint Care Center and MADJ Marketing.

“As part of our commitment to supporting and serving our community, we are proud to be a part of this initiative,” said Stephen Longenecker, MD, Medical Director at Reading Hospital and practicing physician at the Bone and Joint Care Center. “Time is a crucial element when an individual goes into cardiac arrest, so we are happy to support The Friends of Reading Hospital by helping to make AEDs more readily available at community events.”
