Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation presents two Lifepak 15 monitors and defibrillators to Irwin County EMS

TIFTON, Ga. – The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently presented two Lifepak 15 monitors and defibrillators to Irwin County EMS. 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.
