The East Point fire trucks

currently do not have AEDs and this will give them an immediate way to

help people suffering from cardiac arrests.

"South Fulton Medical

Center is proud to present the East Point Fire Department with this check

for life-saving equipment. We at South Fulton Medical Center are committed

to the safety and well being of our community," said SFMC's CEO Dr.

Andrew Agwunobi.

The Mayor of East Point, Patsy

Jo Hilliard, attended the event to show her support for the contribution,

as did Fire Chief Rosemary Cloud, representing the East Point Fire Department.

"The City of East Point

Fire Department appreciates this generous donation from the South Fulton

Medical Center and the Health Care Auxiliary," said Rosemary Cloud,

East Point Fire Chief. "The addition of this important medical equipment

to our emergency vehicles enables us to better serve the East Point community."

East Point is a community of

40,000 residents located on 16 square miles in south Fulton County. With

easy access to MARTA, Hartsfield International Airport and numerous major

thoroughfares, the community seeks to become the modern version of the

traditional town - a place where history is respected, neighborhoods are

preserved and people of all races and religions are welcome.
