Supporting Safety at Cherokee Central Schools

Cherokee Tribal EMS recently delivered 8 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to Cherokee Central Schools, helping increase access to lifesaving equipment throughout the school campus.

Of those eight AEDs, three are housed in weatherproof cases, allowing them to be placed where they can remain accessible for outdoor sporting events and other school activities. 🏈⚾🥎🏃‍♀️

Having an AED nearby during a sudden cardiac emergency can make a critical difference. These additional units will help provide coverage not only for our students and staff during the school day, but also for athletes, families, coaches, and community members attending sporting events.

Cherokee Tribal EMS is proud to continue working to improve access to lifesaving equipment throughout our community. ❤️🚑

8 new AEDs. More coverage. A safer school community.

Last night, members of C and D Shift had the opportunity to spend some time together outside of the ambulances and attend Unto These Hills Outdoor Drama.

One of the best ways we can serve our community is by continuing to learn about and understand the history, culture, and traditions of the Cherokee people and the community we are privileged to serve.

Opportunities like this are also about more than education. They give our crews a chance to step away from running calls, spend time together, share some laughs, and strengthen the relationships that are so important in EMS. The bonds we build outside of work help make us a stronger team when it matters most.

We are thankful for the opportunity to experience a story that has been shared with generations and to support one of our community's longstanding traditions.

Great night, great company, and a little crew bonding for C & D Shift! 🚑
