Six lifesaving defibrillators have now been placed in permanent positions throughout Bothwell and Uddingston.
The defibs, five of which have 24-hour access, have been funded by public donations following the deaths of two local people in recent months.
Further funding will also help to install another two pieces of equipment in the town and village in the coming weeks.
Currently there is a new defibrillator available within WY Graham Pharmacy, 8 Market Street, Viewpark, which is available during opening hours.
Other 24-hour access defibs are in place within the car park at Cut Fish, Bothwell, Bothwell Parish Church Centre main car park, Uddingston Bowling Club outside wall, Special Days Cakes at the main and at the entrance to Wm Livingstone garage main showroom.
Each apparatus comes with full instructions on the wall and once opened the defibrillator will talk to users and explain what to do.
Community fundraiser Allan Stewart, who runs the Bothwell and Uddingston Community Forum and Action Group, is delighted to have been able to add to the number of defibrillators available in the area.
He told Lanarkshire Live : "There has been several instances over the last year when a defibrillator would have helped people within our community but at those points in time there were none available for use.
"Now we are absolutely delighted and thankful to have six potentially lifesaving pieces of equipment available across Bothwell and Uddingston.
"It is is now our mission to raise awareness of their whereabouts and to teach people how to use them should they be needed in helping to save someone's life, although please note that every machine talks you through the process if you do ever find yourself needing to use one.
"A huge thank you to everyone, and all of the companies and organisations who have donated to this vital cause and indeed more recently to Julie Atkin and family who raised enough money for us to install two defibrillators installs within G71."
UK charities for defibrillator access have been inundated with requests for details about the apparatus after Danish footballer Christian Eriksen suddenly collapsed on the pitch during his side's first match against Finland at the Euros last month.
The high-profile footballers life was saved by quick thinking first aid responders who used a defibrillator on the pitch to restart the the 29-year-old's heart in dramatic scenes that were broadcast across the world.
