• AED Community Initiative

  

  AED Community Initiative

  Every year, more than 350,000 people suffer a sudden cardiac arrest, with approximately 16% of them occurring in a public setting. Ensuring our community has access to Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) can make a tremendous difference in the minutes before a first responder arrives. AEDs can be used by virtually anyone during an emergency – even those with no medical training – and they can nearly double the rate of survival. Thanks to generous gifts, in the past several years Virtua has distributed more than 100 AEDs to local sports fields, places of worship, community organizations, and more.

• Angel Garden Maintenance Fund

  

  Angel Garden Maintenance Fund

  The Angel Garden at Virtua Voorhees Hospital is a peaceful outdoor sanctuary for parents who have lost an infant or pregnancy. It is a unique and meaningful place to honor the life of an angel baby. A beautiful water wall features plaques engraved with the names of babies who have been honored. The memorial is surrounded by trees, flowers, and seating for visitors. A special angel statue overlooks the garden, always protecting the babies honored there. Gifts to this fund help maintain the memorial’s features for families to visit year-round.
