Louisville now has its first defibrillator that anyone can open, on Bardstown Road. Karen Sheets-Mobley won a Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation contest to bring the station to the city. Her husband had been saved by an AED and has made a full recovery, and she used the contest to put one where other people can reach it without a key.
The cabinet is unlocked on purpose. That is the difference from a device locked inside a building.
