JAMESTOWN - As the Jamestown business community looks to the future, access to quality local health care is critical. As a corporate leader in our community, DFT Communications recognizes the crucial importance of constructing a well-equipped, 21st century Emergency Department at WCA Hospital.
For these reasons, DFT is supporting WCA's capital campaign by donating technology valued at over $40,000 to help fully equip the new Emergency Department. This high-quality, technological equipment includes 32 wall-mounted LED-backlit LCD televisions, 50 widescreen flat panel LED monitors, two 50" tracking board monitors, and a security system featuring a DVR, cameras, and a monitor.
"As a member of this community served by WCA Hospital, our company understands the importance of an Emergency Department designed and equipped to best serve our loved ones," Mark Maytum, President and COO of DFT Communications said. "We wanted to come alongside the WCA physicians and staff to improve care delivery and to enhance the patient experience during some very difficult times."
