Heart of West Georgia recently presented a check to the LaGrange Police Department to replace three older AED devices that are in need of repair and currently out of service due to age and inability to be repaired.

As first responders, officers quickly come to the scene of medical calls. LaGrange Police Department (LPD) officers are trained in CPR and AED use. Each year, LPD officers receive life-saving commendations for medical assistance given to heart attack victims via the use of AEDs and by administering CPR to citizens.

Heart of West Georgia is grateful to the LaGrange Police Department for being prepared and working diligently for the community's safety.

Pictured are LPD Chief of Police, Garrett Fiveash, and Nicole Kennedy, HOWG Board Member.

SHOUT OUT today to our hole sponsors! These are businesses and individuals that make us a priority in their giving. Many have given to Heart of West Georgia for years! Knowing that every penny stays local to be poured back into our communities in Troup County makes a HUGE difference!

We appreciate the work they do professionally to help citizens in Troup County (and surrounding counties) stay healthy and well, and we appreciate their support for what we do in Troup County!

One final SHOUT OUT coming tomorrow..................
