Every 911 call begins with a voice.

Before the sirens.

Before the lights.

Before help ever arrives.

That calm, steady voice belongs to a telecommunicator.

During Telecommunications Week, we’re celebrating the voices behind the radio and the calm behind the chaos. Our dispatchers are the unseen first first-responders who coordinate care, guide crews, and support patients long before help arrives.

This year, Prisma Health EMS invites field crews, departments, and leadership to “Adopt-a-Dispatcher.”

When you adopt a dispatcher, you’ll receive a short “About me” sheet and can create custom gifts and baskets just for them- snacks, gift cards. Coffee, handwritten notes, etc

Dispatchers are the lifeline between callers, crews, and hospitals, and this week is about recognizing the incredible work they do every day.

We have a total of 28 dispatchers, if you would like to adopt one, please contact Courtney at Courtney.Wilbanks@prismahealth.org.

📅 Telecommunications Week: April 13–19, 2026
📍 Department: Prisma Health EMS Communications (OCONEE)

Let’s make sure every dispatcher feels appreciated.
Adopt a Dispatcher and help us celebrate the voices behind the headset. 🎧

Sepsis (a life-threatening response to infection) is a leading cause of death in the United States and the risk of death from sepsis exceeds strokes and heart attacks. Prisma Health EMS and Greenville County EMS were two of the first EMS systems in the country to administer antibiotics in the field. Prisma Health EMS is the first EMS agency in the United States to demonstrate the association between prehospital antibiotic administration and improved patient outcomes.

The Prisma Health Research Team showed patients who received prehospital antibiotics had:
• 44% lower odds of septic shock
• 53% lower odds of ICU admission
• 48% lower odds of 30-day mortality

Early antibiotics save lives!

Recently, our Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) team received a heartfelt thank you note from a patient expressing appreciation for something that means everything in healthcare, being truly heard.

The note shared gratitude for the time our team took to listen, understand, and address their concerns with compassion and respect. Moments like these are a powerful reminder that care doesn’t always begin with treatment… sometimes it begins with simply listening.

PHAS Legacy Line met for the first time today. This group is made up of retired members and those who have served PHAS for ten or more years.

The combined years of experience in this room were nothing short of incredible. Stories, laughter, wisdom, and coffee shared by the people who helped build what we stand on today.

This was more than coffee.
It was a homecoming.

Honoring the past.
Connecting the present.
Inviting the future.
