Atlantic Ambulance Donates Defibrillator to St. Mary’s High School

Robert White, right, director of operations for Atlantic Ambulance Service, presents an automated external defibrillator to St. Mary’s Head of School Dr. Ray Bastarache, center, and Athletic Director Jeff Newhall.

The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) now requires all member schools to have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) at all athletic competitions. Although St. Mary’s presently has two AEDs located in the school, neither was designated for St. Mary’s athletics.

St. Mary’s has a comprehensive athletic program of 21 varsity sports (male and female) and 44 teams from varsity, JV, freshmen and junior high levels. The recently donated AED will be taken by the athletic trainer to all St. Mary’s home games, according to Newhall.
