Premature Anne Manikin:

The TRMC Foundation recently donated a premature Anne Manikin to the Obstetrics department at Tift Regional Medical Center. 

This donation will benefit our obstetrics, by teaching life-saving skills for our pre-term births. This manikin is equivalent to a 25-week-old baby. All newborns need their first ten minutes of life, but premature babies especially need those crucial moments. Being ready for any situation is essential because complications from preterm births are one of the main causes of death for children under five. According to Mandy Brooks, "This manikin will improve patient care and build staff confidence by getting them ready for our most vulnerable patients."

Patient Transportation for the Anita Stewart Oncology Center: 

The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently donated a 2024 Honda HR-V to the Anita Stewart Oncology Center in Tifton. The vehicle will provide transportation to Oncology patients who do not have access to a vehicle. The van currently serves 15-20 patients per month in a 50 mile radius. "One of the biggest barriers to care identified year after year for Oncology patients is transportation. Thanks to the Foundation, we are better equipped to address this concern to ensure our patients continue to have access to the care they need. We are grateful to have the opportunity to offer this resource, " states Denise McAdams, Director of the Anita Stewart Oncology Center Service Line.

Tobii Dynavox machines for Speech Therapy at Southwell:

The Foundation recently donated two Tobii Dynavox to Tift Regional's inpatient speech therapy.  The Tobii Dynavox is used to communicate with stroke victims, patients on ventilators or any other patient that has communication barriers through eye tracking technology.  "This device will be a huge benefit for inpatient, outpatient, palliative and hospice patients that need a way to communicate.  It enables them to connect with others all while offering independence," states Mandy Brooks.
