Doctors donate equipment

The staff doctors at Haywood Park General Hospital recently donated a Holter monitor and a “Resusi-Annie” training dummy for resuscitation methods. The heart monitor will be worn by patients experiencing arrhythmic patterns and will record the information taken from the patient. Information will be sent to Dr. Frist Cardiology Group in Nashville. Within 72 hours the information will be analyzed and sent back to the doctor.

The “Resusci-Annie” is a life-like mannequin that facilitates training in fi rst aid resuscitations. Annie will be available to all hospital personnel and interested civic groups for training purposes.

These instruments were fi nanced entirely by a fund begun by doctors and civic groups in the late 1950’s to fi nance a vaccination drive to fi ght polio. The program was a success and the remainder of the fund, along with new donations, made the purchases possible.

Habitat plans second house

With the paint barely dry on Gusta Watkin’s house on South Washington, Haywood County Habitat for Humanity Chapter organizers say they’re ready to get started on a second one.
