Local emergency app gets new update

Posted:

By Katie Lathrop, Associate Producer - email

A potentially life-saving smart-phone app is once again expanding.

It's called "ICE Michiana." ICE stands for "In Case of Emergency."

The APP is now connected to six local hospitals with the new addition of Community Hospital of Bremen.

The APP stores information like your blood type and medical conditions...

First responders can send that critical info to an Emergency Room before you arrive at the hospital.
