The Parrish Medical Center Auxiliary has provided an important service known as Lifeline® to our community since 1984. This service provides a 24-hour emergency response system for subscribers so they can directly contact the PMC Emergency Department without dialing a phone.

Lifeline® users are medically dependent people who live at home and are often on their own. They can be elderly, new mothers, disabled or handicapped individuals recovering from surgery, those with heart problems, people with diabetes and those who are temporarily or permanently bedridden.

What is Lifeline®?
Lifeline is an easy-to-use personal response service that ensures that older adults living at home get quick assistance whenever it is needed - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The service is simple to use.
When you need help, you just press the waterproof Personal Help Button you wear as a pendant or wristband. Within seconds, a certified Lifeline monitor responds, assesses the situation and summons appropriate help, whether it is a neighbor, relative, or ambulance.

Who responds when I press my button?
A caring and trained professional who has instant access to your pertinent health history and personal profile on his or her computer screen.

Why do I need Lifeline?
Life is unpredictable. An unexpected fall or medical emergency could threaten your future health if help is delayed. With Lifeline, help is assured.

Lifeline® is provided by the Parrish Medical Center Auxiliary and it's volunteers.
