SANCTUARY STRONG™ COMPLETE CHURCH MEDICAL READINESS SYSTEM

If Someone Had a Medical Emergency at Church This Sunday, Would Your Team Know What to Do?

Sanctuary Strong™ helps churches put the equipment, people, plan, and practice in place to respond to medical emergencies with greater confidence and coordination.

The Sanctuary Strong Complete Church Medical Readiness System combines a ZOLL AED Plus with a guided 90-day implementation program designed specifically for churches.

ONE CHURCH LOCATION. ONE AED. ONE COMPLETE MEDICAL EMERGENCY READINESS SYSTEM.

One church location • One ZOLL AED Plus • One Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) • One Implementation Coordinator • 90 days of guided implementation

Your church does not need a certain number of responders to begin. Sanctuary Strong helps you identify available responders, assign appropriate roles, and build your MERT around the people your church has. CPR/AED certification is not included and is available separately if needed. The designated Implementation Coordinator remains the church’s primary implementation contact and Implementation Hub account holder.

The Problem

An AED Is Important. A Nurse Is Valuable. But What Happens When an Emergency Actually Occurs?

Your church may already have an AED. You may have a nurse, doctor, EMT, or other healthcare professional in the congregation.

But during an emergency, several things may need to happen at the same time.

Someone needs to recognize that help is needed. Someone needs to call 911. The AED and emergency supplies need to reach the person quickly. Someone may need to meet EMS and guide them through the building. Other people may need to help keep the area clear.

And the person everyone normally depends on may not be there that Sunday.

Sanctuary Strong helps your church prepare its people to work together, so your response doesn’t depend on one person being there when an emergency happens.

The Transformation

Go From “We Hope Someone Knows What to Do” to Having a Plan You’ve Actually Practiced

Sanctuary Strong is designed to help your church establish a practical medical emergency response system before you need it.

Over 90 days, your church is guided through putting the essential pieces in place so you’re not starting from scratch during an actual emergency.

What Sanctuary Strong helps your church put in place

  • A ready and accessible AED
  • A designated Medical Emergency Response Team
  • A written Emergency Action Plan
  • Clear medical emergency response procedures for your church
  • A plan for Sunday readiness
  • A practiced medical emergency response
  • A process for maintaining readiness over time

You don’t just receive equipment and paperwork.

You put the system into practice.

COMMON QUESTIONS

“But We Already Have…”

Three things churches often say... and how Sanctuary Strong addresses them.

“We already have an AED.”

That’s a great start.

But owning an AED and being prepared to respond with it are not necessarily the same thing.

Sanctuary Strong can also help churches that already have an AED establish the people, plan, procedures, practice, and ongoing readiness needed around their existing equipment.

“We already have a nurse at church.”

Having a nurse, physician, EMT, or other healthcare professional in your congregation can be a tremendous asset.

But your church’s emergency response shouldn’t depend on one person being present.

Sanctuary Strong helps establish a team approach so response duties can be shared and other non-medical members know how to help.

The Sanctuary Strong CARE Framework™

An AED Is a Device. Readiness Is a System.

Sanctuary Strong helps your church put both in place.

The Sanctuary Strong CARE Framework™ addresses four important areas of church medical emergency readiness.

C

Cardiac Readiness

Put lifesaving equipment in place and help ensure it is accessible when it is needed.

A

Action Training

Prepare your Medical Emergency Response Team to respond and work together.

R

Response Tools

Give your church practical tools and guidance for establishing its medical emergency response procedures.

E

Enduring Readiness

Practice your response and establish a process for maintaining readiness over time.

Cardiac Readiness: AED cabinet with red emergency light and 3-D AED wall sign installed in a church hallway

CARDIAC READINESS IN ACTION

Wall-mounted ZOLL AED Plus, alarmed cabinet, and high-visibility 3D signage in church environment.

Action Training: Church volunteers and response team practicing hands-only CPR training on manikins

ACTION TRAINING IN PRACTICE

Medical Emergency Response Team members practicing hands-only CPR drills and team coordination.

What’s Included

The Complete Sanctuary Strong System

The Complete System combines physical emergency equipment with the Sanctuary Strong implementation program.

Sanctuary Strong Complete Church Medical Readiness System Product Banner
01

ZOLL AED Plus Readiness Package

Your church receives a ZOLL AED Plus along with an alarmed wall cabinet with flashing emergency light, AED signage, responder bag, and emergency response supplies.

The ZOLL AED included with the Complete System is registered through the applicable ZOLL process and includes the required medical authorization/prescription.

02

Sanctuary Strong™ Medical Emergency Response Team Playbook

Your physical Implementation & Drill Guide helps your church move through the Sanctuary Strong implementation process and put its medical emergency response program into action.

This isn’t another book designed to sit on a shelf.

It’s a working implementation resource for your church.

03

Sanctuary Strong™ Book

Your Complete System includes a copy of Sanctuary Strong™ as a leadership and training reference for understanding church medical emergency readiness and the principles behind the program.

04

Church AED Maintenance Tracker Logbook

Your team receives a dedicated physical logbook for documenting AED inspections, maintenance, battery/pad expiration, and other important AED readiness records.

05

Sanctuary Strong™ Emergency Response Training Cards

Emergency response cards designed for drill and scenario practice and quick-reference response roles and actions.

06

Ongoing Readiness Toolkit

Your Sanctuary Strong™ Ongoing Readiness Toolkit includes reusable forms and resources that your church can save and continue using internally after implementation.

The Toolkit also includes an editable MERT Identification Badge Canva Template, allowing your church to customize responder identification with names and titles and print badges as needed.

Know How to Keep Your AED Ready

Installing the AED is only the beginning.

Sanctuary Strong shows your church how to perform routine AED readiness checks, recognize when pads or batteries need attention, document inspections, and keep important readiness information organized.

Your Church AED Maintenance Tracker Logbook provides a physical record of inspections and replacement activity, while your included 90 days of AED Command gives your church a digital way to track inspections, expiration dates, and ongoing AED readiness.

You also receive step-by-step guidance for completing routine AED checks and knowing what to do when supplies need to be replaced.

90-Day Implementation

We Don’t Hand You a Binder and Tell You, “Good Luck.”

Equipment is only part of preparedness.

Sanctuary Strong gives your church a structured 90-day implementation process for putting its medical emergency response system in place.

1

Phase 1 | Establish

Understand where your church stands today and begin putting the right people and equipment in place.

2

Phase 2 | Build

Develop the medical emergency response plan and procedures that fit your church.

3

Phase 3 | Practice

Put your plan into action through a medical emergency drill, identify gaps, and strengthen your ongoing readiness.

At the end of 90 days, the goal isn’t simply to have completed a program.

The goal is to have a response system your church has actually put into practice.

IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT

You’re Not Expected to Figure It Out Alone.

Your church receives 90 days of access to the Sanctuary Strong Implementation Hub.

Your church’s designated Implementation Coordinator receives access to:

  • Step-by-step video guidance
  • Implementation resources
  • Reusable forms and templates
  • Frequently asked questions and supporting resources
  • Sanctuary Strong group/community support
  • Biweekly group Implementation Sessions

Your church can work through the program while having a place to get questions answered as you move through implementation.

One purchasing church location receives one 90-day Implementation Hub account assigned to its designated Implementation Coordinator.

AED Command™

Help Keep Readiness From Becoming a One-Time Project.

AED Command Interface

Putting a response system in place is the beginning.

Maintaining it matters too.

Your Complete System includes 90 days of AED Command™, a digital readiness management platform that helps organizations manage ongoing AED and emergency-readiness activities.

AED Command can support organizations with multiple AEDs and multiple locations, making it useful as your church’s equipment or campus needs grow.

Your Sanctuary Strong Complete System covers implementation for one church location and one AED. Additional Sanctuary Strong locations and equipment can be added separately.

After the included 90-day period, continued use of AED Command is available through a separate paid subscription.

WHO IT'S FOR

Is Sanctuary Strong Right for Your Church?

  • Does not currently have an AED and wants more than equipment alone
  • Has been talking about purchasing an AED but doesn't know what should happen after it arrives
  • Relies heavily on one nurse, physician, EMS, or other healthcare professional
  • Has CPR/AED-trained members but no coordinated church response system
  • Wants to establish a Medical Emergency Response Team
  • Has no emergency plan the full team has practiced
  • Wants a structured process instead of trying to build everything from scratch
  • Wants to improve how medical emergencies are handled before 911 arrives

Sanctuary Strong isn’t about creating a hospital inside your church. It’s about helping your church prepare to respond until professional emergency medical services arrive.

WHY SANCTUARY STRONG EXISTS

Sanctuary Strong™ Was Born From a Real Gap in Church Preparedness

Meet Ebony Godwin, RN, BSN, M.S.

Ebony Godwin is a Registered Nurse, American Heart Association (AHA) certified CPR and BLS Instructor, and founder of Hospital Med Supply and Sanctuary Strong™.

Her mission to help churches become better prepared for medical emergencies began after her aunt experienced cardiac distress at church-where no AED or trained responders were available.

That experience exposed a gap that many churches may not recognize until an emergency happens:

Having caring people isn’t the same as having a prepared response.

Ebony created Sanctuary Strong™ to help ministries put the equipment, people, plan, and practice in place before they’re needed.

She has trained and equipped church teams, organizations, and healthcare professionals, with the goal of helping congregations become not only places of worship, but places of safety and readiness-where people are equipped to serve one another in love and action.

FROM A CHURCH WE'VE SERVED

“…it boosted our members’ confidence to save a life…”

“Not only did you ensure that we were equipped with an adequate and appropriate AED device, you offered and provided a full-service management program that included professional instruction and CPR certification.

You were very professional in every sense, making sure that what was taught was thorough, detailed and easy to understand…

Ultimately, they were very excited to know that they could potentially help to save someone's life.”

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all of our Medical Emergency Response Team members have to be nurses or healthcare professionals?

No. Your Medical Emergency Response Team does not have to be made up entirely of healthcare professionals. Churches may have nurses, physicians, EMTs, or other healthcare professionals available, but other members can also serve in roles appropriate to their training and responsibilities. Sanctuary Strong helps your church establish a coordinated response structure so responsibilities do not depend on one person being present.

What if we already have an AED?

You may not need the Complete System. Sanctuary Strong also offers an option for churches that already own an AED and want help establishing the people, plan, procedures, practice, and ongoing readiness around their existing equipment.

See options for churches that already have an AED

What if we already have nurses or other healthcare professionals in our congregation?

That is a valuable resource, but your church's response should not depend entirely on one healthcare professional being present. Sanctuary Strong helps establish a team approach so responsibilities can be coordinated and other responders know how to help within their training and assigned roles.

Is CPR/AED certification included?

CPR/AED certification is not automatically included because some churches already have trained responders. If training is needed, Hospital Med Supply offers additional training options. In-person training is available in the Greater Cincinnati area, and virtual CPR/AED certification may be available for churches that do not have reasonable access to a local instructor. Equipment and shipping requirements apply to virtual training.

Can we purchase Sanctuary Strong if we're outside Cincinnati?

Yes. The Sanctuary Strong Complete System is available to churches outside the Greater Cincinnati area through shipped physical materials, the Sanctuary Strong Implementation Hub, video guidance, biweekly group implementation support, and AED Command. Certain in-person services are limited to the Greater Cincinnati area or may require a separate quote.

Can Sanctuary Strong be used at a church with multiple campuses?

Yes. The Sanctuary Strong Complete System includes implementation for one church location and one AED. Additional locations, AEDs, and more complex implementations are available separately. AED Command is designed to support ongoing readiness management across multiple AEDs and locations.

What is an Emergency Action Plan?

An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is your church's written plan for responding to a medical emergency. It establishes how your church will organize and coordinate its response until professional emergency medical services arrive.

Does Sanctuary Strong provide medical care or medical direction?

No. Sanctuary Strong is a church medical emergency readiness and implementation program. It does not replace EMS, professional medical care, legal advice, or medical direction.

The ZOLL AED included with the Complete System is registered through the applicable ZOLL process and includes the required medical authorization/prescription.

Does Sanctuary Strong guarantee the outcome of a medical emergency?

No. No emergency preparedness program, AED, training course, or response plan can guarantee the outcome of a medical emergency. Sanctuary Strong is designed to help churches improve their preparedness, organization, practice, and ongoing readiness before an emergency occurs.

How long do we have access to the Sanctuary Strong Implementation Hub?

Your church receives 90 days of access to the Sanctuary Strong Implementation Hub from activation. One Hub account is assigned to the purchasing church location's designated Implementation Coordinator.

The designated Implementation Coordinator is also the church representative who participates in the included biweekly group Implementation Sessions.

When are the live implementation sessions?

Sanctuary Strong™ group implementation sessions are held every other Tuesday from 12:00–1:00 PM Eastern Time during the 90-day implementation period. Upcoming dates and meeting links are posted inside the Sanctuary Strong Hub.

If you cannot attend live, you may submit implementation questions in advance through the Hub. Recordings of the educational portion of live sessions will also be added to the Hub so you can review them later.

What happens at the end of the 90 days?

Your church keeps its physical Sanctuary Strong materials and may continue using authorized reusable resources that were downloaded for internal use by the purchasing church location. Access to the Sanctuary Strong Implementation Hub, community, and biweekly group implementation support ends after the included 90-day period.

What happens to AED Command after 90 days?

The Complete System includes 90 days of AED Command. After the included period, continued use of AED Command is available through a separate paid subscription.

Can we add CPR training, another AED, pediatric pads, or other services?

Yes. Additional training, equipment, implementation support, and readiness services are available separately based on your church's needs.

What your church can decide is whether it prepares before that day comes.
