ECMO Program
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Program at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center
Certain life-threatening illnesses or injuries require ECMO, a technology that fully supports a patient's heart, lungs or both when they cannot function on their own. Legacy's ECMO program has provided this life-saving care across the region for more than 30 years.
Providers: To refer a patient for ECMO, please call 1-800-500-9111
