HOWARD COUNTY, Md.- For every minute someone is in sudden cardiac arrest, their chance of survival decreases by seven to ten percent. Howard County is working to save more lives. The County is partnering with SaveStation, a Canadian company that makes containers to house AEDs so that they are available in outdoor public places. On Feb. 27, the county added the first of seventeen outdoor SaveStation AEDs at Meadowbrook Park.
