Yesterday, we celebrated EMS Week with a cookout where our employees and their families came together to enjoy great food, fellowship, and time together as a department.

A special thank you to Air Evac 19 for sponsoring the meal and the ice cream trailer, and to Macon Community Hospital for sponsoring the sweats. We also want to thank Representative Kelly Keisling for coming and speaking to our department. Thank you as well to everyone else who helped and played a part in making the day a success.

We were also proud to recognize two outstanding members of our department with this year’s awards:

🇺🇸🚑 Turning Advocacy into Action for Rural EMS

Last week, Macon County EMS Director Spencer Tuck joined more than 350 EMS leaders from 46 states in Washington, D.C. for EMS on the Hill Day—an opportunity to directly advocate for the future of emergency medical services.

Tennessee was strongly represented, with 18 EMS services participating through TASA (Tennessee Ambulance Service Association), all working together to ensure rural voices are heard at the national level.

These efforts are already making a difference.

Following conversations with our Senators and Congressional Representatives, additional co-sponsors have signed onto key EMS legislation, gaining momentum and support in both the House and Senate. This progress is critical in moving these bills forward and ultimately improving healthcare delivery—especially in rural communities like Macon County.

Key focus areas included:

🔹 Improving Medicare reimbursement for Treatment In Place
🔹 Expanding Community Paramedicine programs
🔹 Addressing the cost and availability of blood products
🔹 Ensuring fair and sustainable EMS reimbursement models

Advocacy like this ensures EMS agencies are not only heard—but supported—with real solutions that strengthen patient care, improve access, and sustain services for the communities we serve every day.

We are proud to be part of these efforts and look forward to continued progress as these bills advance.
