Grant in Action
The Daviess County Community Foundation awarded the Daviess Community Hospital Foundation a $29,538.48 grant through the Community Good Grants program to support the purchase of two LUCAS Devices. The LUCAS Device
is a chest compression machine that automatically performs Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on a patient, freeing up paramedics to drive the emergency vehicle or tend to other patients.
Established in 1913, the Daviess Community Hospital is a 74-bed acute care facility. As the only hospital in Daviess County, it serves a wide variety of patients with specialized needs including oncology, orthopedics, and endocrinology.
