EMS gets much-needed heart monitor

The Moorcroft Volunteer Ambulance Service has had to discontinue use of their existing heart monitors due to malfunctions and the manufacturer’s closing of product support.

After a candid conversation with the governing body at a recent meeting, EMT volunteers Jessica Schnabel and Dorothy Baron returned to Monday night’s gathering to advocate the lease/purchase of the Stryker monitor that will cost the town $36,000.

Salesman Adam Meyers was on hand to explain the tool and expense to the council, who expressed some reticence on hearing the cost of the heart monitor/defibrillator “Lifepac 15”.
