The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently presented a Lifepak 15 monitor and defibrillator to the Irwin County EMS office.  This lifesaving device will perform a diagnostic EKG enroute to the hospital, where the results are sent directly to the Emergency Department and to the physician’s mobile phone.  This will allow the physician and staff to prepare for the cardiac victim before arrival and saving valuable time.  

The Lifepak 15 monitor and defibrillator was funded by the 2020 “Hearts and Diamonds” Gala, which raised over $114,000 for the Foundation’s Heart Safe Community Program.  For more information, please contact the Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation at (229) 391-3310 or visit our website at www.trmcf.com.
