Dr. Amorteguy's Office Gets A New AED Machine

As many of Dr. Amorteguy's patients know, she is committed not only to healthy teeth, but also heart health. Dr. Amorteguy is an ardent supporter of the American Heart Association and in her free time, she volunteers for the AHA by fundraising for the organization.

Dr. Amorteguy knows that oral health can affect not only your mouth but your heart as well. But what about tragic heart conditions that may not necessarily be linked to whether or not you've been brushing your teeth? Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the number one killer in the United States and it can happen to anyone at any age. That's why Dr. Amorteguy purchased an AED (automatic external defibrillator) for her office from the Ryan J. Clarke CPR Fund For Schools, a nonprofit organization committed to preventing death by Sudden Cardiac Arrest by providing CPR and AED training to 9th and 10th graders. Dr. Amorteguy, along with the Ryan J. Clarke CPR Fund For Schools is further ensuring the safety of her patients with this life saving device.
