Mississippi gets 560 VeriChips and seven scanners ( mostly for corpses)
Chip Mobile now called "Mobile Clinic" and backed by the Miss. Department of Health
At the request of the State of Mississippi Department of Health, the Company [ Applied Digital VeriChip ] has lent its 40-foot mobile clinic to act as the Department of Health's Mobile Clinic. This vehicle is specifically retrofitted for medical procedures such as chip-injection. The vehicle is being staffed by Department of Health representatives and is now providing food, water and medical supplies, including tetanus and other vaccinations, to people in need of medical care. Over 1,000 individuals have received medical treatment at the mobile medical unit in the first five days of its operation
To date, the Company has donated approximately 560 VeriChips to Harrison and Lafayette Counties in Mississippi. Initially, Harrison County and the U.S. Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT) are utilizing VeriChip's identification technology to integrate identification of the unidentified deceased with a database provided by the County and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation so that loved ones may access the information to identify missing family members that may have perished in this disaster. The County Coroner in Harrison County, MS, and DMORT are now using this technology. The County Medical Examiner's office in Lafayette County, MS, intends to store the VeriChips and scanners for future pending disaster relief and body identification assistance. Applied Digital has offered to donate its technologies to Louisiana and the DMORT facility located in St. Gabriel, LA, as well.
