Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) is the official health care provider for the San Francisco Giants at Pacific Bell Park. Both organizations share a strong commitment to community and have built an unprecedented partnership developing on-site health care facilities at the new ballpark making the Giants the first major league baseball team to house a community health center that serves the surrounding neighborhood. The CHW Bay Area Health Center provides first aid services for fans attending games and operates as a training and rehabilitation facility for the Giants. Additionally, CHW provides health care services to major and minor league players as well as the Giants organization. In 2001, CHW and the Giants launched a comprehensive public access automated external defibrillator (AED) program at Pacific Bell Park. AEDs are small, easy-to-use, portable devices that provide definitive treatment for sudden cardiac arrest, one of the country's leading medical emergencies and causes of death. Sports arenas are one of the top five places where sudden cardiac arrest occurs. This latest initiative has the effect of creating an overall network of safety for cardiac arrest victims within Pacific Bell Park.
