Heart attack patients in White County have new hope for improved outcomes, thanks to a gift to The Medical Center Foundation. Now all four ambulances in White County are equipped with the LUCASTM System, a device that provides automatic chest compressions to patients experiencing cardiac arrest. Emily and Joseph Glover of Cleveland recently presented the equipment to White County EMS. “We are extremely grateful for the Glovers’ generosity and hope that others in the Northeast Georgia region will be inspired by this gift,” said Nancy Colston, president and chief development officer of The Medical Center Foundation.
