Pricing and information
Message from Bobbi Montanari and Cardiac Rescue Systems:
“…please let everyone know about the fantastic pricing we’re offering [on AED's.] The gyms in Illinois and Indiana should also be made aware that AED’s have been mandated in their States for a while. It was amazing at the national and region 5 conference how many people we talked with from Illinois and Indiana that didn’t know they are required.
I have attached the price sheet and spec sheet for the Heartsine AED… Thanks again for doing your part in raising awareness about these life saving devices.”
