We have all heard about how CPR saves lives. But it is just one link in the chain of survival for people who go into cardiac arrest. The other…

Haltom Hills Council has been asked to participate in the funding of an expanded Emergency room and a CT scanner at Georgetown hospital.  The total cost of this project is 12 million dollars. The Town is being asked to provide 4.54 million.
