We are proud to have the best of the best men and women providing exemplary care to our citizens and earning this honorable designation year after year!
The Mission: Lifeline recognition program not only celebrates the outstanding service of EMS providers but also fosters a collaborative approach to patient care among prehospital agencies and hospitals. The initiative is driven by the goal of transforming the quality of care by integrating all components involved in managing heart attack and stroke cases into a cohesive system.
