Paul Liner, Graymont's Indian Creek Plant manager, presented an AED machine to American Legion Post 42 in Townsend recently. An AED (automated external defibrillator) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and delivers an electric shock to help restore a normal rhythm. AEDs are used to treat people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.
American Legion Post member Dave Corner said "Post 42 has many activities in the hall that hosts guests of all ages. We wanted a way to be able to help in a cardiac event until a trained medical professional arrives. We contacted Graymont to see if they could help us. They graciously agreed and purchased the AED kit and donated it to Post 42.
As a retired employee of Graymont, I've personally witnessed the donations of monies, manpower and equipment that Graymont has contributed to better our community since the plant opened in Townsend in the early 80's. They are a good corporate neighbor that has touched many lives in Broadwater County. American Legion Post 42 appreciates this life-saving equipment donation."
