The Mikey Network’s mission is to place defibrillators in high-risk public places so that those affected by sudden cardiac arrest can have a second chance at life and the construction site should be no exception.
“We want to have another chapter. We want Mikey’s to be at construction sites,” Eva Naumovski, president of the Mikey Network, told the audience of a recent webinar on Automated External Defibrillators hosted by the Residential Construction Council of Ontario. “We believe that there is something we can do.
