Franklin City Fire Department donates defibrillators to Ivy Tech-Columbus
Monday, March 9th, 2009
The Franklin City Fire Department has donated six Lifepak 10 defibrillator monitors to Ivy Tech Community College-Columbus for its use in teaching EMS (Emergency Medical Services) classes, as part of the Ivy Tech’s Paramedic Science program. The defibrillators are in good working order and are usable for training; they were donated as a result of the purchase of new defibrillators by the Fire Department. The donation is worth approximately $15,000.
The monitors will be used in the Paramedic Science program, along with a Lifepak 12 defibrillator, donated by Columbus Regional Hospital, and a Physio 300 defibrillator, donated by Cummins Fuel Systems Plant.
“We are very appreciative of all donations to support the Paramedic Science program,” said Charles Sims, Ivy Tech Program Chair of Paramedic Science. “Purchasing the defibrillators new would cost more than we can afford. These donations will allow the students to have hands-on training with equipment used in the field.”
The Paramedic Science Program of Ivy Tech-Columbus operates in partnership with hospitals in its service area, including Johnson Memorial Hospital, Columbus Regional Hospital and Ambulance Service, Jackson County Ambulance Service, Schneck Medical Center, and Decatur Memorial Hospital and Ambulance Service.
Johnson Memorial Hospital is the sponsor for Ivy Tech-Columbus’ Paramedic Science program. Dr. Michael E. Pauszek, Medical Director, oversees the program, teaches classes that are part of the program, trains students doing their clinical rotation in the emergency department at Johnson Memorial Hospital, and offers his support in many other ways. “We are extremely grateful to Dr. Pauszek,” commented Sims.
