CONGRATS

CHP Medics Right Place Right Time

On September 19th, ATCEMS Community Health Paramedics were attending a training event with Austin Travis County Integral Care. Amy White Program Director White with the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team (MCOT) was the opening speaker that day. During Amy’s speech she suffered a sudden cardiac arrest event. Lucky for Amy, ATCEMS CHP medics sprung into action and were able to rapidly start CPR within seconds.

Amy was successfully resuscitated and was transported to a local hospital. We are happy to announce that she has made a full recov- ery and recently met up with the medics who saved her life.

MEDIC OF THE MONTH

Congratulations to ATCEMS Medic H. Lawless for being named St. David's Medical Center ER Medic of the Month! The ER staff says that "He is helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant to both staff and patients. Thank you for all you do, sir!"

Please join us in congratulating Medic M. Ruiz for being recognized as St. David's North Austin Medical Center ER's September Medic of the Month! The team says that he gives the most thorough reports and listens while the patient is triaged so he better under- stands the information needed from the patients. He is ALWAYS positive, fun and smiling. We love getting to work with him.
