Staying Active and Independent for Life (SAIL) exercise classes for those 65 and older are taught twice a week for one hour by Kelly Weber from Odessa Memorial Healthcare Center Rehabilitation Department. 

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a device that automatically analyzes the heart rhythm and if it detects a problem that may respond to an electrical shock, it delivers a shock to restore a normal heart rhythm. Thanks to their small size and ease of use, AEDs have been installed at the Post Office, the Old Town Hall Senior Center, the Odessa Community Center, Quail Court Assisted Living Center, both city police vehicles, and serve a role in expanding the number of opportunities for life-saving defibrillation. 

A cardiac monitor/defibrillator is a valuable piece of equipment in an emergency room. It provides an electrical shock that stops the erratic rhythm of the heart and returns it to the contracting rhythm that sustains life.

An electronic medical record (EMR) is a digital version of the traditional paper-based medical record for an individual. The EMR represents a medical record within a single facility, such as a doctor's office or a clinic.

The Odessa Memorial Healthcare Center's Rehabilitation Department was remodeled.

To ensure that the risk of radiation exposure is associated with the benefit of a high quality radiographic image, the use of portable or mobile x-ray machines for human diagnostic procedures is restricted to patients who cannot be transferred to a stationary machine.

The Quail Court Assisted Living Center staff and residents now enjoy a large commercial refrigerator which replaced the original household refrigerator that was installed when Quail Court was built.

 A new medication cart for the long term care wing of the hospital was also purchased.  This cart provides the ability for OMHC to package controlled medicines in a card method, which simplifies shift counts and reduces the likelihood of theft. 

The 12-Lead ECG/Defibrillator/Monitor for the Odessa Ambulance will help determine cardiac arrhythmias and heart attacks in the field. This will allow EMS to communicate critical information to the hospital  prior to arrival and to facilitate the fastest treatment. This monitor is compatible with the equipment in the Emergency Department at Odessa Memorial Healthcare Center, providing a quick transfer of care between EMS and the ER.

The AccuVein AV500 digitally displays a map of the vasculature on the surface of the skin in real-time, allowing clinicians to verify vein patency and avoid valves or bifurcations.
