Lawrence County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) has published its service report for July 2025, highlighting the organization’s emergency response activities and community engagement throughout the county. During this month, the EMS received a total of 615 requests for assistance, resulting in the transportation of 402 patients to various healthcare facilities.
Among those transported, 55 individuals were taken to Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC), while 12 were directed to North Alabama Medical Center (NAMC). Additionally, one patient was transported to Southern Tennessee Regional Health System (STRHS) located in Pulaski. The EMS also facilitated 41 transports to medical facilities outside of the county. In addition to these transports, EMS crews managed 120 calls where patients either refused care or did not require medical attention, and they responded to 84 calls that were later canceled or deemed unfounded. Specialized responses included 33 instances of providing fire standby, assisting law enforcement, or offering mutual aid. Furthermore, the EMS team engaged in three community outreach initiatives or lifesaving training events.
The call volume for July reflected a slight increase when compared to both June 2025 and the same month in the previous year, July 2024. To enhance their skills, Lawrence County EMS responders participated in various continuing education courses that covered critical topics such as managing blast injuries, cardiac arrest scenarios, pacemaker emergencies, and obstetric care, which included practical delivery simulations.
Several members of the EMS team attended the Tennessee EMS Education Association (TEMSEA) Conference held in Murfreesboro, where they gained valuable insights into EMS training and advanced critical care education. Additionally, six responders from Lawrence County EMS successfully completed the Tennessee EMS Leadership Course 2, which focuses on the significance of field training officers and structured preceptorship programs.
Beyond their emergency response and training efforts, Lawrence County EMS took part in several community events, including the Camp Thrive Back to School Program and the Touch a Truck event at the Loretto Lion’s Wing Cookoff.
Looking forward, Lawrence County EMS has announced the commencement of its Fall 2025 Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) course at Lawrence County High School, which is set to begin with the new school year next week.
