Just a little reminder, your Smith County 911 and Smith County EMS employees are on duty and working to serve you on this beautiful Saturday. Team work is what gets things done….this photo was taken by Critical Care Paramedic Kelsey Doss. Her and her partner AEMT (soon to be Paramedic) Kelsey Ashburn along with the help of Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Jimmy Gregory, and the Gordonsville Police Department, successfully resuscitated a Cardiac Arrest patient and then our friends from Air Evac responded and rapidly transported that patient to Nashville for further care. Excellent work by all involved and I am proud to have the opportunity to oversee such a fine group at 911 and EMS. Thanks for what all of you do for Smith County and thanks to Sheriff Steve Hopper for allowing his Deputies to carry those very important pieces of equipment, AED’s and rapidly respond with us on calls when they are available to do so. Thanks to Gordonsville Fire Department for your assistance as well. When everybody is 1 Team and seamlessly works together, great things can be accomplished! Our prayers are with the patient and family and we certainly hope for a positive outcome.
