Lawrence County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) has published its service report for June 2025, showcasing its unwavering dedication to delivering emergency medical assistance, transport services, and community involvement to both residents and visitors of the county.
During the month of June, EMS teams responded to a total of 579 service requests. Out of these, 394 resulted in patient transports to various medical facilities. Notably, 63 patients were transferred to Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC), while 21 were taken to North Alabama Medical Center (NAMC). Additionally, one patient was transported to Southern Tennessee Regional Health System located in Pulaski, and 29 patients were sent to medical facilities in neighboring counties.
The report also highlighted instances where care was either declined or deemed unnecessary, totaling 94 calls. Furthermore, there were 76 calls that were canceled or resulted in no patient being located, along with 11 responses that involved fire standby, assistance to law enforcement, or mutual aid. In addition to these emergency responses, EMS engaged in three community outreach initiatives and lifesaving training events throughout the month.
Although the overall call volume for June was slightly lower than that of May, it marked an 11% increase when compared to June 2024. To further improve the quality of care provided, EMS personnel participated in continuing education sessions focused on spinal motion restriction, pain management, and best practices for documentation. A number of responders also engaged in a two-day collaborative training exercise with the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department and the Lawrenceburg Fire Department, which centered on active threat response and enhancing coordinated emergency care in high-risk scenarios.
In addition to their emergency response efforts, Lawrence County EMS actively pursued public outreach by visiting summer programs at New Prospect and Leoma Elementary Schools. During these visits, they educated students on essential topics such as CPR, the appropriate circumstances for calling 911, and the vital role that EMS plays within the community.
June also marked a significant achievement for the department, as Lawrence County EMS received the prestigious Mission: Lifeline Award from the American Heart Association. This accolade recognizes outstanding performance in the treatment of heart attack and stroke patients, emphasizing the exceptional level of care provided by the dedicated professionals within Lawrence County EMS.
