GAINESVILLE - Lifeline of Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) announces that Dianne Appling, Lifeline Coordinator at NGMC, is now a certified Philips Lifeline AutoAlert provider.
Philips Lifeline Medical Alert Service with AutoAlert is designed to reduce the risks associated with living alone and is the most widely adopted fall detection service in the U.S. for personal emergency response systems. AutoAlert is a medical help button that will automatically call for help if a fall is detected, even when the subscriber is immobilized or doesn't push his or her button. Lifeline's quick access to help can minimize "down time" and the risk of serious health consequences that may require hospitalization.
To receive her certification, Appling completed training modules, passed a final assessment and demonstrated her knowledge of the AutoAlert option and expertise in presenting this product for seniors in the community who wish to live more independently in their homes.
