The annual EMS Star of Life Awards ceremony, organized by the Children’s Emergency Care Alliance of Tennessee (CECA TN), is set to take place on Tuesday, April 30th, at 6:00 PM. This prestigious event will be held at the Student Union Center of Middle Tennessee State University, located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The ceremony serves as a platform to celebrate the unwavering commitment, skill, and lifesaving contributions of emergency medical services (EMS) personnel throughout the state.
The EMS Star of Life Awards specifically honor the heroic actions of first responders, which encompass paramedics, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), dispatchers, and various other emergency service professionals. These individuals are recognized for their exceptional pre-hospital care provided to both adults and children in critical situations. The significance of this event lies in its focus on the vital role that EMS providers play in ensuring timely and high-quality medical care, starting from the moment a call is dispatched until the patient arrives at the hospital.
During the ceremony, several awards will be presented to nominated organizations, highlighting the achievements of various departments. Among the nominees are EMS teams from Lawrence, Lewis, Perry, and Maury Counties, showcasing the dedication and excellence of emergency services across Tennessee.
