Thank you to everyone who has graciously asked what they can do to support the Satterfield family during this difficult time. As Cody was in the process of changing jobs, he did not have any life insurance. This is a legitimate GoFundMe site confirmed by his father, Rodney. If you do not wish to donate through GoFundMe, any donations can be made via the JCEMS leadership team. Funds will be used for Cody’s funeral and anything additional will be set aside for his children.

It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic loss of one of our own, Paramedic Cody Satterfield. Cody began his EMS career here at JCEMS where he is literally family. Over the years, Cody went on to serve multiple communities across East Tennessee with dedication and compassion, most recently at Hancock County EMS and Sullivan County EMS. Cody wasn’t just a skilled and caring paramedic—he was also a teacher and mentor who poured his knowledge and heart into educating the next generation of EMS providers. Our deepest condolences go out to Cody’s family, friends, and our fellow EMS agencies and team members who had the honor of working alongside him. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Rest easy, Cody. Your impact will not be forgotten.

Jefferson County EMS was honored to be invited to participate in Carson Newman’s Nursing Camp 2025. We enjoyed educating the campers about mass casualty incidents, culminating in a pediatric MCI exercise. We were also excited to get to talk with them about prehospital emergency care and discuss the importance of building relationships between nursing and EMS to improve the care of all our patients. Thank you, Carson Newman, for the invitation!

Congratulations to our JCEMS paramedics and to our fellow public safety colleagues who completed the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program this week, hosted at the JCEMS training center. CIT is a community-based approach to improve the outcomes of those in crisis. It creates collaborative connections between emergency services, law-enforcement, and mental health providers to identify mental health resources and increase community safety.

Jefferson County EMS Training Center was honored to be a recent recipient of the Robert F. Lash, MD Emergency Medicine Fund Grant. The JCEMS TC will use these funds to purchase new CPR manikins that are more representative of our patient populations, as well as visual language pocket translators to use with those patients who have special communication needs. JCEMS paramedics Daniel Kinsler and Angie Bowen were on hand at UT Medical Center to receive the grant award. Many thanks to those who made this possible to better serve our community!
