From staff reports
TIFTON — The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently presented two Lifepak 15 monitors and defibrillators to Irwin County EMS. These life-saving devices perform a diagnostic EKG en route to the hospital, where the results are sent directly to the physician’s mobile phone at Tift Regional. The 12 Leads allow the physicians and the staff at Tift Regional minutes to prepare for the cardiac victim before arrival, saving valuable time.
The Lifepak 15 monitors and defibrillators were funded by the 2023 “Hearts and Diamonds” Gala, which raised more than $98,000 for the Foundation’s Heart Safe Community Program. For more information, contact the Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation at (229) 391-3310 or visit the www.trmcf.com website.
