Ascension Borgess Foundation

A patient's life will be saved by donations

Your gift helped purchase five new defibrillators that were in need of replacement at Ascension Borgess Allegan Hospital - Allegan Clinic. The need was urgent as the manufacturer of the existing defibrillators was discontinuing its support of the equipment.

The new defibrillators have a safety feature that counts compressions when in use. This feature gives staff the time needed to rotate duties (to help prevent exhaustion and maintain high-quality chest compressions to keep profusion high). The new technology improves patient safety and health outcomes.

Thank you for your support that will save a life when needed the most!
