VALDOSTA, Ga. (WALB) - The South Georgia Medical Center (SGMC) Foundation received a $175,000 grant from the Roots and Wings Foundation to support AngelEye, the new technology recently installed in the SGMC Birthplace.

The grant will fund the software and 32 live streaming video cameras installed in the SGMC Birthplace.


“We are very grateful to receive this funding which will allow SGMC to deploy the latest technology and help families stay connected to their little ones,” said Elizabeth Vickers, the executive director of the SGMC Foundation.
