       *The Authority purchased its first cardiac defibrillator/monitor for $6,005.00.  The most recent defibrillator/monitors were purchased at a price of $65,000.00 each.

       *Many residents are surprised to know that we receive limited municipal support. Our primary revenue comes from three sources: (1) Billing for services rendered, (2) Our annual subscription program, and (3) Our annual Capital Campaign.  We are designated as an IRS 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.
