Even when you are well enough to return home after a major medical event, you and your loved ones may be concerned you will experience a medical emergency. Columbus Community Hospital makes it easy for patients to sign up for Lifeline, which offers medical alert systems that allow you to enjoy life in the comfort of your own home. They also give you the freedom to go anywhere with confidence.
