Heartbeat Program Holding First-Ever AED Donation Day At Doylestown Health

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Penn Medicine Doylestown Health (PMDH) will hold its first-ever AED Donation Day on Wednesday, Feb. 25, beginning at 2:30 p.m. in the Levy Conference Room inside Doylestown Health’s Ambulatory Center.

During the special gathering, five community organizations will be presented with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) through the hospital's newly-launched Community Heartbeat Program.

The program is made possible through a generous contribution from the Ozovek family, in loving memory of husband and father, Jerome “Jerry” Ozovek. Their support has enabled Doylestown Hospital to expand lifesaving resources throughout the region by equipping local organizations with AED devices and essential training.

Representatives from the five organizations will join the hospital to formally receive their AEDs and learn more about the devices and their roles in emergency response. Members of the Ozovek family will also be present to share in the celebration of this program’s impact.

The event will include remarks from members of the Penn Medicine Doylestown Health Leadership Team (Jim Brexler, CEO, and Alyson Cole, COO), as well as Thomas DiEnna, D.O., Director of the Emergency Service Line and Assistant Medical Director of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Penn Medicine Doylestown Health.

A representative from Stryker, Doylestown Hospital’s AED vendor partner, will conduct a brief 10-minute device demonstration, highlighting key features and proper usage to ensure recipient organizations feel informed and prepared.

Members of the Doylestown Health Foundation team will also attend to support event activities and document the celebration. Photos taken during the event will be used to raise awareness of the Community Heartbeat Program and its growing impact on community safety.

The Community Heartbeat Program reflects the hospital’s mission to enhance the health and wellness of the community through education, outreach, and accessible emergency preparedness resources.
