The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently presented three Defibtech Lifeline ARMS - Automated Chest Compression Systems to Tift County EMS (2) and Turner County EMS (1).  These units are designed to perform chest compressions at a consistent depth and rate.  It will allow the patient a safe transport and relocation while undergoing CPR.  The Lifeline ARM will offer dependable CPR without fatigue or interrupted compressions.  It will also improve access to the patient; as well as provider availability for other services. 

The Defibtech Lifeline ARMS were funded by the “Hearts and Diamonds” Gala.  This fundraising effort raised over $120,000 benefiting the local community with these lifesaving devices.  This year’s “Hearts and Diamonds” Gala will be held on February 12, 2022 at the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center from 7 p.m. until midnight.  The evening will include a seated dinner, silent auction, dancing and a diamond giveaway.
