The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently presented five Lifepak 15 monitors and defibrillators to the Tift County and Turner County EMS offices. These lifesaving devices perform a diagnostic EKG enroute 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 and saving valuable time.

The Lifepak 15 monitors and defibrillators were funded by the 2019 “Hearts and Diamonds” Gala, which raised over $120,000 for the Foundation’s Heart Safe Community Program.
