GREENSBORO, N.C. — As we celebrate WFMY News 2 turning 75, we are opening the News 2 Vault.
We're going back to 1990 when medical technology was making headlines.
Cone Hospital was one of several in the Triad that started using a lifeline system. Subscribers had units in their houses and could reach someone at the hospital with a button.
It was similar to the Life Alert and Life Call devices with many commercials during that time.
