Installation of AEDs Across the District |

Wilson is installing Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) around our campus to help keep our students, staff, and community safe. If the community needs to use an AED, they will Call 911 (Berks County Department of Emergency Services) and receive a code to unlock the box to gain access to the AED unit. After all are installed, there will be 8 AEDs around our Wilson Campuses. Thank you to the community partners who provided funding to make this life-saving project a reality! |
