Hardin County EMS is receiving some special recognition.
“Hardin County EMS just received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline Gold Achievement Award,” said Hardin County Government Communications Officer Brian Walker. “Last year we were ranked as silver. This is in response to heart attacks, strokes, and lifesaving measures that ultimately help people to stay alive before they can even get to the hospital.”
Hardin County Government says the Mission: Lifeline EMS initiative aims to “advance the system of care for patients with high-risk, time-sensitive disease states” and helps to reduce barriers to proper treatment, starting from when 911 is called.
Walker said the award is a testament to the hard work of the county’s EMS crews.
“We just have an outstanding group of people that work for our Emergency Medical Services Office,” Walker said. “We’ve got those different locations around the county, and we’re always looking at ways to improve, upgrade equipment, do more training, and there’s just so much that goes on behind the scenes that people just don’t know, the constant chance to step up and to do better and to do more.”
