AED for Cook County Fire Department and Emergency Management: 

The Foundation donated an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) to the Cook Fire Department and Emergency Management Center.  "An AED is a small portable, life-saving device designed to treat victims who are experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, " states Mandy Brooks with the TRMC Foundation.  This device is often placed where a large amount of people gather; such as schools, recreation departments and first responders.

 Tifton Fire Department:

The Tiftarea YMCA’s Food for Thought Program and after-school program will benefit by nourishing area children.  For more than 17 years, this program has been vital to our community.  During the school year, the Bateman Center hosts a free after-school program Monday through Friday from 3:00-6:00 p.m.   This program includes a nutritious snack, kid-friendly activities, and daily computer and assignment skills practice with tutoring available. 

Each week, more than 2,000 meals will be served at the summer feeding locations.  This program offers daycare for parents in our community at two additional locations.

“The TRMC Foundation and the Tiftarea YMCA are thrilled to collaborate on this endeavor.  The Foundation is a community sponsor, and efforts are used on medical equipment for local and surrounding county emergency medical services, as well as assistance within the community, “states Mandy Brooks, Director of the TRMC Foundation.
