Rich isn’t defined by a monetary value or tangible items, but rather defined by the gift of giving. Today Sacred Cross EMS crews received hugs, tears of joy and thanks from their patient that was in cardiac arrest earlier this year.
🚑 A Second Chance at Life 💓
This smiling photo holds a powerful story of survival, teamwork, and the life-saving efforts of our local heroes.
Terry Matthews is alive today thanks to the swift actions of Sacred Cross EMS
(partners of the Palo Pinto County Emergency Services District #1), Mineral Wells Fire & EMS,
as well as the skilled professionals at Palo Pinto General Hospital.
From a sudden collapse at the checkout counter in a Mineral Wells hardware store to a coordinated emergency response across multiple hospitals, this is a story that reminds us why every second counts.
We’ll be sharing the full story soon—one you don’t want to miss.
📷 Stay tuned. And thank you to all who serve.
