National EMS Week
Since 1983, Hopkins County Hospital District has operated the Emergency Medical Service for Hopkins County. The award-winning EMS crew works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and currently provides ambulance coverage to Hopkins, Delta, Franklin, and Rains counties. The American Heart Association has recognized Hopkins County EMS with the Lifeline Gold Plus recognition for four consecutive years. The program’s mission is “designed to showcase Emergency Medical Service organizations across the nation for excellent STEMI care,” according to the AHA website. [A STEMI is the term cardiologists describe a classic heart attack.]
EMS Week brings together local communities and medical personnel to honor the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of the medicine’s “front line.” THANK YOU, Emergency Medical Service providers!
