SALISBURY — The Lifeline Program at Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) and Manager, Bevereley Stoakley were recently presented the Philips Lifeline Certificate of Achievement Award in recognition of their accomplishments in 2012.

Philips Lifeline is a medical alert service, which in the event of an emergency or fall provides access to help at the push of a button. Since 1994, Peninsula Regional Medical Center has been offering seniors the Philips Lifeline service that gives them, for a little more than a dollar a day, the confidence to continue to live independently at home.
Through the collaborative help of the Peninsula Regional Medical Center administration and by educating seniors and professional caregivers in the community, Peninsula Regional Medical Center’s Lifeline Program has been able to grow its subscriber base allowing it to, over the years, serve 1,450 seniors in the Peninsula Regional Service areas in the Eastern Shore counties of Maryland, lower Delaware and Accomack County, Virginia.
