Farm Credit Services has generously donated $5,000 to the Veterans Memorial Health Care Foundation to help purchase a new LIFEPAK 35 monitor. The Foundation, a nonprofit supporting local healthcare needs, is raising funds to replace an older defibrillator that lacks technological advances incorporated into modern devices.  This upgrade will ensure EMS crews have reliable, advanced equipment during cardiac emergencies.

This enhanced technology will allow responders to provide better on-scene care, improve resuscitation efforts, and strengthen emergency services for the entire community. With the support of Farm Credit Services and other community partners, the Foundation aims to ensure that every patient has timely access to lifesaving technology and that local EMS teams remain equipped to deliver the highest level of care.
