Lifeline
Lifeline provides a link to many types of emergency help, including ambulance, police, and fire. This personal emergency response system provides 24-hour assistance for people of all ages and abilities.
- With just the push of a button, worn either around the neck or on the wrist, a phone call is placed into the emergency response center at the hospital.
- Trained hospital staff call to ask what type of help is needed. If the person is not able to answer the phone, responders, who may be family members or neighbors, are contacted and asked to check on the person.
- After a responder arrives, hospital staff call the person's home to learn if additional help is needed.
