The University of Tennessee’s College of Medicine at Erlanger received a donation of high-tech medical equipment worth $17,100 last week that will be of great benefit to local emergency responders. At the Firehouse Subs restaurant on Gunbarrel Road, Dr. James Creel, chief medical officer at Erlanger Health System, thanked the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation for the donation of equipment, which includes two laryngoscopes, two automated external defibrillators (AEDs), two tactical response bags and a portable, hand-held ultrasound device. Dr. Creel said the equipment will be stored on a new emergency response vehicle operated out of the University of Tennessee’s College of Medicine at Erlanger.
