“FIRSTNET technology allows us to do 12-lead EKGs from anywhere — a home, business or on the road,” said AMH EMS manager Jason Bowman. “The EKG can be transmitted to a doctor at any hospital in the greater Alton area before the patient arrives in the Emergency Department. This critical information helps the doctor determine if the patient is having an active heart attack so treatment can begin immediately on arrival.”

AMH ambulance services cover a 350-square-mile area in Jersey, Macoupin and Madison counties.

For questions about the auction or how to make a donation, call the AMH Development office at 618-463-7701 or email kristen.ryrie@amhsf.org.

Another item in the online auction is this LED red line flag created by Matt Julian. He has made similar items for country music star Jason Aldean, country rap singer Big Smo and Ropers Regal Beagle Sports Bar and Grill in Godfrey.
