❤️HONORED FOR EXCELLENCE IN CARDIAC CARE❤️
Abbeville County EMS is proud to share that our agency has been officially recognized with the Partners in Cardiac Care distinction by the American College of Cardiology, in partnership with Self Regional Healthcare!
When someone experiences a cardiac emergency, every single second counts. This award reflects our field crews' hard work in rapidly diagnosing heart attacks (STEMIs), transmitting ECGs from the field, and activating cardiac cath lab teams before even stepping foot in the hospital.
This achievement isn't just about our Paramedics and EMTs on the ambulance—it is built on the strong foundation of our entire emergency response system:
Our 911 Telecommunicators: The vital first link who dispatch help instantly, gather key details, and guide callers through those crucial first moments.
Our Local First Responders & Firefighters: Arriving fast on scene to initiate care, clear pathways, and provide essential hands-on support to our crews.
Our Hospital Partners: Working hand-in-hand with us at Self Regional Healthcare to ensure seamless continuity of care.
Thank you to our dedicated dispatchers, volunteer and career first responders, and field clinicians for your relentless commitment to excellence. Most of all, thank you to our community for trusting us when you need us most! 🚑
