In September, the Lawrence County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded to a total of 571 calls, successfully transporting 372 individuals to various local hospitals. Among these transports, 42 patients were taken to Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC), while 16 were directed to North Alabama Medical Center (NAMC). Additionally, one patient was transported to Southern Tennessee Regional Health System in Pulaski, and 30 others were taken to facilities in neighboring counties.
The EMS teams also documented 115 instances where individuals either refused care or where no treatment was necessary. Furthermore, they responded to 15 requests for assistance from fire departments, law enforcement, or mutual aid situations. There were also 67 calls that were either canceled or resulted in no patients being located.
In addition to their emergency response duties, EMS crews engaged with the community by hosting two outreach events focused on lifesaving training throughout the month. The call volume for September 2025 mirrored that of September 2024, showing a slight decline from the previous month, which aligns with established historical patterns.
To enhance their skills, EMS personnel participated in various continuing education sessions that covered topics such as pediatric care, management of mass-casualty incidents, medication error prevention, and annual skills competency assessments. During the Middle Tennessee District Fair, the EMS team had a relatively low demand, with only two patients requiring transport. They also provided standby medical coverage for seven local football games, ensuring safety for attendees and participants alike.
