Lawrence County EMS has released its monthly service report for June 2025, highlighting its continued commitment to serving the residents and visitors of the county with emergency medical care, transport services, and community engagement.
Throughout the month, EMS crews responded to a total of 579 service requests. Of those, 394 resulted in patient transports. Transfers included 63 to Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC), 21 to North Alabama Medical Center (NAMC), and one to Southern Tennessee Regional Health System in Pulaski. An additional 29 patients were transported to medical facilities in other counties.
The report also noted 94 calls where care was refused or not required, 76 calls that were canceled or where no patient was found, and 11 responses involving fire standby, law enforcement assistance, or mutual aid. EMS also participated in three community outreach or lifesaving training events.
While June’s overall call volume was slightly lower than in May, it represented an 11% increase compared to June 2024. In an effort to enhance care, EMS personnel completed continuing education in spinal motion restriction, pain management, and documentation best practices. A number of responders also took part in a two-day joint training with the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department and Lawrenceburg Fire Department, focusing on active threat response and improving coordinated emergency care during high-risk situations.
Lawrence County EMS continued its public outreach efforts as well, visiting summer programs at New Prospect and Leoma Elementary Schools to educate students on CPR, how and when to call 911, and the role EMS plays in the community.
June also brought special recognition to the department, as LCEMS was honored with the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline Award. The award highlights excellence in the treatment of heart attack and stroke patients, underscoring the high level of care provided by Lawrence County’s EMS professionals.
