Tift Regional Medical Center (TRMC) has been re-designated as a Level II Emergency Cardiac Care Center (ECCC) by the State of Georgia. This certification means TRMC is able to provide life-saving interventional cardiac catheterizations on a 24/7 basis.
“We commend TRMC for its continued commitment to excellence in emergency cardiac care,” said Dr. Kathleen E. Toomey, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Health, Office of EMS, and Trauma.
“Improving the survival rates from heart attacks and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Georgia is exceedingly important and is in keeping with Public Health’s desire to protect and improve the health and lives of individuals throughout our state,” she said.
As a Georgia designated Emergency Cardiac Care Center, Dr. Toomey said TRMC is an integral part of a growing emergency cardiac care system throughout the state.
“We applaud TRMC for this achievement and appreciate the contributions that the hospital makes to the health and well‐being of Georgians, as well as to those visiting our state,” said Dr. Toomey.
