City hall hours to change slightly

In a brief regular meeting on Tuesday, June 16, Groesbeck city council received good news on multiple fronts from City Administrator Chris Henson, including reports of steady business at the city pool, record-high sales tax collection for June 2020, and the complete recovery of a Groesbeck family of five who had contracted COVID-19, bringing the number of active cases in the city back down to zero at time of press. Henson also addressed a recent social media post that put words in the mouth of Municipal Judge Michelle Nance and went viral, but has since been exposed as untrue.

LMC Foundation purchases life-assist Defibtech chest compression devices for emergency medical services

LMC Foundation members recently purchased two Defibtech Lifeline ARM mechanical chest compression devices for the Hospital’s Emergency Medical Services. The Lifeline ARM Automated Chest Compression (ACC) device is used for performing mechanical chest compressions when effective manual CPR is not possible. Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) requires a high level of excellence in order to have an impact on the survival rate of a cardiac arrest victim. This is very difficult to achieve manually when fatigue can occur in as little as 1-2 minutes while trying to maintain at least 2 inches/5 cm depth compressions at a minimum rate of 100 compressions per minute. In an emergency situation, the Lifeline ARM when used as an adjunct to manual CPR, provides extended CPR with minimal interruptions when fatigue, insufficient personnel, or patient transport (e.g., ambulance, intra-hospital) may prohibit the delivery of effective/consistent compressions to the victim. Its award-winning design provides portability, speedy deployment, and delivers precise CPR with unmatched operating times. Shelton Chapman, EMT-P, EMS Director, conveyed his gratitude to the LMC Foundation members for purchasing these devices with funds that were generously donated by Mary Helen Nance Campbell.
