🚑 Building a Stronger Emergency Response System for Haywood County 🚑

Last night at our public safety meeting, we had the privilege of recognizing two of our newest Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs). While this recognition was important, it is only the beginning of what we believe will be great things to come.

These two individuals, Brent and Kelly Grimison Stanley, have been licensed for only 9 days and have already responded to 4 emergency calls within their district. Because of their dedication and willingness to serve, first medical contact times in their area have been reduced by an incredible 65%. That means citizens are receiving trained medical care significantly faster during emergencies when every second matters.

This program has been a top priority for Haywood County EMS because our citizens deserve the quickest possible access to emergency medical care. We fully support, oversee, and stand behind this program. Kaitlin McKeel is doing a great job of instructing and coordinating with this program. We have also expanded our instructor pool to provide to this program now as well.

Many people do not realize what it takes to become an EMR. Participants must complete:

✅ 60 hours of classroom instruction
✅ Medical skills labs and hands-on training
✅ Ride-along requirements with Haywood County EMS crews
✅ State certification and licensing requirements
✅ Patient care documentation (PCRs) just like our ambulance crews
✅ Ongoing oversight, auditing, and quality assurance

Each responder is equipped with medical bags and equipment provided by Haywood County EMS and is integrated into our overall emergency response system.

This program was largely abandoned years ago, but we made a commitment to rebuild it. Our mission is not only to strengthen Haywood County EMS but also to expand emergency medical response capabilities throughout every community in Haywood County.

Today, we have 12 certified or licensed responders participating in the program, and we are continuing to grow. In addition, every member of the Haywood County Fire Department either holds a medical certification/license or is actively working toward obtaining one and falls under our EMR program.

We are proud of these responders and thankful for their commitment to serving their neighbors. This is what community-based emergency care looks like, and we're just getting started.

Thank you to all of our EMRs, firefighters, EMS personnel, and community supporters who are helping make Haywood County safer every day.

🚑🌳 Haywood County EMS was proud to be a part of this year's Hangout on the Hatchie Trails! 🌳🚑

We had a great time spending the morning with our community at the Rockin' Roll Hatchie Trails. It was wonderful to see so many people out enjoying the outdoors, promoting healthy lifestyles, and celebrating all that Haywood County has to offer.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hello, and helped make this event a success. Events like these are a great reminder of the strong community we serve and the partnerships that help make Haywood County such a special place.

We appreciate the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and all those who participated. We look forward to being involved again next year!

Serving Haywood County with pride—on and off the ambulance.

Thank you Josh and Brilynn for taking care of everyone!

Today we remember the heroes who gave everything for this country. At Haywood County EMS, we honor the sacrifice of the brave men and women who never made it home — and we keep their families in our thoughts today.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It’s a reminder that freedom has a cost paid by generations of Americans willing to stand the watch.

From all of us at Haywood County EMS, thank you to those who served and especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸🚑

As EMS Week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to recognize someone who works tirelessly behind the scenes for Haywood County EMS every single day — our Director, Dustin McKeel.

While we are always thankful for our providers on the trucks, none of this would be possible without strong leadership guiding the service forward. We are grateful for the countless hours Dustin puts in to make sure our crews have what they need, our patients receive the best care possible, and our service continues moving forward instead of standing still.

From supporting crews, improving operations, and helping build the strong protocols we’re proud of today — he is constantly pushing for bigger and better things for Haywood County EMS. And while we can’t spill all the details just yet… let’s just say exciting advancements are coming that will elevate patient care in a BIG way. 👀

We know the job keeps him pulled in a hundred different directions at once, and sometimes it’s impossible to keep his head on straight with everything on his plate — but his dedication never goes unnoticed.

Thank you for your leadership, your vision, and your commitment to this county, these crews, and this service. We appreciate you more than you know. 💜🚑

Happy EMS Week from all of us at Haywood County EMS & Haywood County Fire Department! 🚑🚒💜

Tonight was more than just a cookout. It was a reminder of how far we’ve come as a county family. Hamburgers, hotdogs, co****le, laughter, fellowship, and getting to enjoy our new station together made for a night we won’t forget.

As we celebrate EMS Week, we want to recognize every single one of our personnel — Critical Care Paramedics, Paramedics, AEMTs, EMTs, and EMR’s— the people who answer the calls day and night and continue showing up for this county no matter what.

We are especially grateful for the partnership we share with Haywood County Fire Department. These men and women are not only firefighters — they are medically trained professionals who stand beside us every day to help serve our citizens. The growth we’ve seen over the past year is truly incredible.

There was a time when scenes were staffed by only a few EMS providers. Now, because of the growth of our county service, the support of our fire department, and a booming EMR program reaching the rural parts of Haywood County, we have more trained responders available than ever before. That growth means faster care, stronger teamwork, and better service for our community.

We also want to wish a very Happy EMS Week to our friends at Hospital Wing and thank them for coming out tonight and enjoying dinner and fellowship with us. We are thankful for the partnerships we have across all areas of emergency medicine and critical care transport.

We have been blessed beyond measure, and we are proud of what Haywood County has built together. The future of county emergency services is strong, and we’re thankful to still be here serving the people of Haywood County during another EMS Week.

A BIG thank you to our county commissioners and everyone who supports county EMS, county fire, our EMR program, and all of the first responders and medical personnel who continue making a difference in our community every single day. We are stronger together. 💜

This week, we proudly recognize and celebrate EMS Week here at Haywood County EMS.

Emergency Medical Services is far more than ambulances and flashing lights. EMS is the calm in chaos, the hand held during someone’s worst moment, the lifesaving care delivered in living rooms, highways, factories, schools, and everywhere in between. EMS providers are trained medical professionals who respond 24/7 to emergencies ranging from heart attacks and strokes to trauma, respiratory distress, critical care transports, and everything in between.

EMS officially began to take shape in the United States in 1966 following the landmark report “Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society.” That report exposed major gaps in emergency care and ultimately helped create the modern EMS systems we know today. Since then, EMS has evolved into an essential part of healthcare and public safety across this country.

Here at Haywood County EMS, we are blessed with a team that shows up every single day and night ready to serve this community. Whether it’s a routine transport, a major accident, a cardiac arrest, or simply being there for someone scared and hurting — our crews answer the call without hesitation.

During EMS Week, our personnel are recognized and appreciated, and rightfully so. But truthfully, they deserve that appreciation every week of the year. The dedication, sacrifice, missed holidays, long nights, and commitment to this county often happen quietly behind the scenes.

To all EMS professionals everywhere — thank you for what you do. And to our Haywood County EMS family, thank you for continuing to serve with professionalism, compassion, and pride.

Today we are proud to recognize one of our very own, Paramedic Brandy Savage, on graduating from Critical Care School through Vanderbilt University Medical Center after an intense 16 weeks of advanced training and education.

This achievement brings an even greater level of care and capability to Haywood County EMS and the citizens we serve every day. From ventilator management and advanced airway procedures to surgical airway capabilities already built into our protocols, the knowledge and training Brandy now carries will directly benefit our patients and our community.

Brandy now joins the ranks of our other five Critical Care Medics, continuing to strengthen the advanced level of EMS care available right here in Haywood County.

We are extremely proud of her dedication, hard work, and commitment to improving patient care. Congratulations, Brandy! 🚑💜
