Anderson County Emergency Medical Services

Anderson County EMS was recently approved by the state of TN to add the Community Paramedicine course to our initial classes at our training center. There was 11 providers that completed the course,including ACEMS employees, and other several others from neighboring services. A community paramedic is able to provide patient evaluation, medical advice, treatment for medical conditions, and referrals in out-of-hospital settings, often called “Mobile Integrated Healthcare”. This is an in-home approach to chronic disease management, wellness and prevention, and assisting patients with available services to prevent reoccurring hospital visits. They completed extra training in primary care, as well as public and mental health. pictured below is Director Nathan Sweet, Scott Prosise, Phillip Kirkland, Patrick Donnelly, Scott Thomas, Joe Herrell, Brian Rozmus and Devin Burnett. Not pictured, Ryan Carpenter, Mark Brown, John Wells, and Paige Cordell.

Congratulations Brian Rozmus on his promotion to rank of Lieutenant. Brian previously worked at ACEMS 2013-2017 and left his position as Lieutenant when he moved to Texas and continued his career at Austin Travis Co EMS. We were so excited when he returned last year! Brian is a great provider and instructor that assists in the education department. Congratulations!

Day 2 October recognitions: congratulations to all for clinical excellence, CPR saves and going beyond your normal medical duties!

October Recognitions Day 1 - sometimes the biggest impact we have on our community isn’t medical treatments, often times it is humanity, although this group included cpr saves (the patient survived and went home to a normal life), and others where clinical excellence, but some of the recognitions were outside the providers normal practice…making a sandwich & soup, returning to ER with a birthday cake, stopping to assist someone on the roadway, and concern for co-workers after really bad calls. We are proud of each of you for your service, and compassion for Anderson County citizens.

HUGE THANK YOU to all that made the Secret City EMS Expo a success! (Day2)
Thank you Methodist Medical Center/Covenant Health for a great lunch, thank you ORETCC for the use of their facility for the 3rd year, we couldn’t do it without your partnership. Thank you Lacy @ STRYKER for the donuts & coffee to kick off every morning! To all the presenters, your knowledge and years of experience will impact those who took your classes throughout their careers. Lastly, our vendors, thank you for believing in us as this is the first year we invited you! Your sponsorship made it possible to bring in keynote speakers, and provide a few extras in the classes that we couldn’t do since our EXPO is free to the participants. Thank you TEMSEA and Y-12 Fire Department for the preconference opportunities in leadership and hazmat education. We apologize if we left anyone out but we appreciate everyone for their support and attendance.
