We are extremely pleased to report that we are providing the department with $10,000 of essential equipment. We are delighted to be providing the hospital with the first brand-new Automated External Defibrillator (AED), a device used to restart a patient’s heart if they have a cardiac arrest.

Emergency Department Collaboration

For the first time, in 2020, MJF Health is extremely fortunate to establish a new partnership with the Emergency Department. As a result of this collaboration, we will be providing the ED with $10,000 worth of vital nursing packs containing equipment that is crucial in determining the likelihood of a patient deteriorating and dying. These packs include a stethoscope, thermometer, pupil torch, blood pressure pump, oximeter, and glucometers.
