DeKalb EMS Director Hoyte Hale recently presented each of the County’s Senior Centers with their own Portable Defibrillator. County Mayor Tim Stribling facilitated procuring the units.
“We’re so grateful for these defibrillator units. We had all tried to get grants to be able to afford them but with no success. The units usually cost between $1,500-$3,500. Hoyte presented these to us at the end of our CPR/First Aid certification class after we had already filled out our evaluation of the class. He also had them insured and is taking care of the consumable supplies. These are excellent units that literally “talk” the user through the entire process,” said Sandy Brown, Director of the Alexandria Senior Citizens Center.
