Is Cintas the Only AED Option for Churches and Small Businesses in Cincinnati?
Is Cintas the Only AED Option for Churches and Small Businesses in Cincinnati?
If you’ve been tasked with buying or maintaining an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) for your church, office, or nonprofit, chances are Cintas was the first name that came up. As one of the most well-known providers in the Cincinnati area, Cintas offers AED leasing and maintenance services that seem convenient on the surface.
But here’s what most people don’t realize: Cintas isn’t the only option — and in many cases, it may not be the most affordable or flexible one.
At Hospital Med Supply, we’re a local AED provider based right here in Cincinnati. We specialize in equipping churches, small businesses, and organizations with high-quality AEDs, CPR training, and easy-to-manage maintenance programs — all without the heavy monthly fees or long-term contracts.
What sets us apart is our belief that you shouldn't have to be locked into a lease or pay monthly service fees just to be prepared for an emergency. We teach you how to confidently manage your AED without relying on expensive outsourcing.
Let’s break down how our AED program compares to what you might be used to hearing from Cintas.
How Our AED Program Compares to Cintas
Bottom Line: If you want to control your costs, train your staff, and feel confident managing your AED, Hospital Med Supply gives you a smarter, more sustainable alternative.
Why Do People Choose Cintas?
We get it. People like the convenience of Cintas managing everything for them, especially when they’re unfamiliar with AED upkeep or don’t have in-house medical expertise. It feels easier to lease something and have someone else "just handle it."
But here's the catch: that convenience often comes with years of monthly payments, no ownership, and fewer choices when it comes to the type of AED, accessories, or training your team receives.
With Hospital Med Supply, we empower you with everything you need:
- AED device and cabinet bundle
- Hands-on CPR and AED training for your team
- Maintenance support and education so you know what to check
- No monthly rental fees, ever
You Don't Have to Be a Medic to Maintain an AED
One of the biggest reasons people stick with leasing is fear — fear they’ll forget to check something, that the device won’t work, or that they’ll get in trouble for being out of compliance.
That’s where we come in. Hospital Med Supply makes AED maintenance simple, non-intimidating, and empowering.
Here’s how we help:
- AED Readiness Training — We teach your team exactly how to check the battery indicator, expiration dates on pads, and overall readiness with a simple monthly visual checklist.
- Customized Maintenance Sheet — We provide a wall chart showing step-by-step what to check and when.
- Free Reminders — Sign up for free email reminders that alert you when it’s time to check your AED.
- On-Call Local Support — Questions? We’re just a call or drive away in Cincinnati.
Maintaining and servicing your AED yourself puts you in control and eliminates the ongoing expense of relying on a company to check a device that’s designed to be easy to maintain.
Most AEDs literally check themselves daily and alert you with a blinking light if something’s wrong. We teach you how to confidently read that indicator and know exactly what to do next.
Let’s Recap: The Hospital Med Supply Advantage
- You own your AED — it's an asset, not a rental.
- No hidden fees or long contracts.
- You receive local support from real people who understand your unique needs.
- We train your team, not just drop off a box.
- You're always ready for an emergency, without overpaying.
- You gain the knowledge and tools to confidently manage your AED.
