Around 3 % of our NATION’S EMS agencies carry whole 🩸 blood 🩸 . ONLY 3%! So much work has gone on behind the scenes over the last 6-8 months to make this happen! Now, our 20,000 citizens have access to this lifesaving treatment!

Yesterday, we hit a milestone as we were able to provide Lavaca County EMS with their first ever unit of Low Titer O Whole Blood from the H.I.A. program!🩸

"Time is everything in trauma care," said Asst. Chief Decker. "Having whole blood available in the prehospital setting allows our paramedics to begin definitive lifesaving treatment minutes-or even hours-earlier than previously possible.”

⚠️ Hats off to our LCEMS team since Christmas Eve! ⚠️

Since Christmas Eve, your LCEMS crews have been busy answering 911 calls and taking emergency transfers from our local hospital in Yoakum, Halletsville, Gonzales and Columbus.

36 calls for service may not sound like a lot, but when we have an average of over an hour 1/2 for each call, it’s adds up as well as our transporting mileage!

Thank you to all of our shifts who have served over the Christmas holiday! I know the community is appreciative as well!!

🌲 🎅 🚑 🌲 🎅 🚑 🌲 🎅 🚑 🌲 🎅 🚑

’Twas the night before Christmas in Lavaca County so bright,
From Shiner to Moulton to Hallettsville’s lights.
The ambulances waited, crews ready to go,
Through cold Texas nights or summer heat’s glow.

Radios crackled, boots hit the floor,
When neighbors in need called out for help once more.
With calm steady hands and hearts full of care,
Lavaca County EMS answered—always there.

While families slept warm and stockings were hung,
These medics stood watch till the morning sun.
So here’s to the crews on this Christmas Eve night,
Serving their county—doing what’s right.

Merry Christmas from Lavaca County EMS. 🎄🚑
