Georgia HEART Hospital Program

The needs for expanding healthcare access are many and your generous contributions have been used for great purposes including:

Patient Safety

• Infant Abduction System Replacement – security providing real-time tracking, mother-baby matching, and tamper detection for enhanced safety
• Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in the Community – portable, life-saving medical devices that analyze heart rhythms and deliver electrical shocks to restore normal heartbeats in victims of sudden cardiac arrest, guiding even untrained bystanders with clear voice prompts to perform critical interventions and significantly increasing survival rates
• Catalyst 9300 – provides high-speed, secure, and automated network infrastructure for demanding environments like IoT, mobility, cloud, and hybrid work, offering advanced security, AI-driven analytics, app hosting, and simplified management through platforms

Patient Care

• New Service: Cardiac Rehabilitation – medically supervised exercise and education program custom-designed for each patient to help them recover from a heart attack or other heart condition
• Indigent Care Expenses
• Tele-Health Cart
• HALO® Bassinettes – keeps mom and baby closer than ever before, enabling the closeness a mother desires most in the first moments with her child
• MRI Patient Monitor – specialized, non-magnetic devices designed to safely track vital signs within the high-strength magnetic field of an MRI suite
• Portable X-Ray –
• Vital Sign Monitors – provides instant insights into a patient’s core body functions (temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, oxygen levels), enabling early detection of health deterioration, guiding diagnosis and treatment, supporting chronic disease management, improving patient safety through early warnings, and enhancing healthcare efficiency by allowing remote or concurrent monitoring, ultimately helping to prevent complications and guide interventions
• GI Scopes – visualizes the digestive tract to diagnose, screen for, and treat issues like ulcers, IBD, polyps, and cancer, offering minimally invasive assessment and intervention for better outcomes, better than general imaging
• OR Video Monitors – enhances surgical education (training students/surgeons), improving quality & safety (unbiased records for review/legal issues, identifying best practices), and boosting communication/efficiency (explaining procedures, training staff remotely)
• Ortho Set – crucial for correcting alignment, relieving pain, preventing injury, and enabling precise surgical correction of musculoskeletal issues, impacting patient recovery
• Patient Monitors – electronic medical devices that continuously track and display a patient’s vital signs (like heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen levels) and other physiological data, enabling healthcare professionals to quickly assess patient status
• ACL Shoulder Tray – specialized surgical instrument sets used to repair injuries
• Endoflip System – diagnoses and guides treatment for swallowing disorders by measuring esophageal pressure and size simultaneously providing functional insights into how the esophagus works, reducing diagnostic uncertainty, and enhancing patient outcomes
• Da Vinci Surgical Robot – enables less invasive, more precise, and complex surgeries through robotic assistance, leading to significant patient benefits like smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery
• Hicuity Tele-ICU Services – technology, and evidence-based protocols, that address the key issues faced by ICUs, respond to ICU’s unique needs, and help provide the highest standard of care to patients
• Mako Orthopedic Robot – assist orthopedic surgeons in performing personalized knee and hip replacement surgeries, creating precise 3D plans from CT scans for better implant placement, potentially leading to less pain, faster recovery, and improved implant longevity
• Bariatric Beds – provides essential safety, comfort, and dignity for larger patients by handling significantly higher weight capacities and offering wider frames, preventing falls and bed failure, while adjustable features (height, position) reduce pressure sores, improve mobility, and make caregiving safer and more efficient for staff
• Oncology Pharmacy Enhancement – ensures treatment safety, efficacy, and patient support, managing complex regimens, side effects, and oral therapies, while also educating patients, collaborating with oncologists, and navigating financial/operational challenges, ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life across the entire treatment journey
