🐣🚑 Happy Easter from Mon EMS! 🚑🐣

Whether you’re worshiping, hunting eggs, enjoying a family meal, or spending time with friends, we hope your day is filled with good food, great company, and maybe a little chocolate.

Boone also wanted to share a few Easter safety reminders:

🥚 Keep an eye on little egg hunters near streets, parking lots, and parks
🐕 Watch what pets get into — chocolate and candy can be dangerous for them
🚗 Drive carefully around neighborhoods and churches with lots of families out today
🌷 Be careful with outdoor activities like ladder use while decorating or setting up

Our crews will be here serving the community today, but Boone hopes your biggest emergency is finding the last hidden egg.

From all of us at Mon EMS, we wish you and your family a safe and happy Easter! 🐰🌷

We’re proud to see this incredible story of teamwork and survival recognized in our community.

At a recent WVU basketball game, a medical emergency quickly turned into a lifesaving effort involving bystanders, Morgantown Fire Department firefighters, and Monongalia EMS clinicians. Thanks to the rapid recognition of cardiac arrest, immediate CPR by those on scene, and seamless coordination with arriving responders, the patient, William Apperson, was given the best possible chance at survival.

This outcome is a powerful reminder that survival doesn’t happen by chance, it happens because people are prepared to act. From bystanders stepping in without hesitation, to MFD firefighters initiating critical care, to our crews continuing advanced treatment and transport, every link in the chain made a difference.

We’re grateful to be part of a community where people look out for one another, and proud of all those involved in giving this patient a second chance.

According to Mon County EMS, less than 10% of cardiac arrest patients survive a hospital discharge. At Thursday’s celebration, a mix of thirteen firefighters, paramedics and bystanders were c…

April is Autism Awareness Month 💙🧩

At Mon EMS, we recognize that providing exceptional care means understanding the unique needs of every patient we serve. Over the past year, we have taken meaningful steps to enhance our approach to caring for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

✔️ All of our clinicians have received specialized training focused on communication, de-escalation, and patient-centered care for individuals with ASD
✔️ Our ambulances are now equipped with sensory and comfort kits designed to better support patients during times of stress or emergency

These efforts are about more than awareness, they’re about action, compassion, and delivering the highest standard of care to our community.

We remain committed to creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all patients and their families.

🚑 Advancing Patient Care with New Technology 💉

Mon EMS paramedics have successfully completed training on our newly deployed Sapphire IV Pumps, now in service across our system.

These cutting-edge devices, rarely found in 911 EMS systems, allow our clinicians to deliver highly accurate and controlled IV infusions, ensuring patients receive the safest and most precise care possible in critical situations.

Through hands-on training and education, our paramedics are fully prepared to integrate this advanced technology into daily operations, further elevating the level of care we provide to our community.

Innovation in action. Precision in care. Commitment to excellence.

🚑 Commitment to Excellence: Skills Competencies Complete 🎯

At Mon EMS, maintaining the highest standard of patient care means never standing still.

Over the past several weeks, our EMS clinicians, alongside our partners from the Morgantown Fire Department, successfully completed our bi-annual Skills Competencies. Each Fall and Spring, our teams come together for hands-on, in-person training led by our Education staff.

These sessions are more than just a requirement, they are a critical opportunity to:
✔ Reinforce core clinical skills
✔ Focus on trends identified through our Quality Assurance data
✔ Introduce new treatments and evolving best practices
✔ Strengthen interagency collaboration

By continuously evaluating performance and adapting our training, we ensure our clinicians are prepared to deliver the highest level of care when it matters most.

Today, we had the honor of recognizing an incredible example of what makes our community strong during a Gift of Life ceremony.

On January 10, 2026, what started as a normal day at the WVU Coliseum quickly became a life-threatening emergency when William Apperson suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Because of immediate action, teamwork, and clinical excellence, his story became one of survival.

Bystanders Audrey and Amanda Poling, along with Karen Yocum, didn’t hesitate, they recognized the emergency and began CPR immediately. Their actions set everything in motion.

Moments later, Morgantown Fire Department personnel and Mon EMS clinicians, who were standing by at the game, arrived and continued care with seamless coordination, delivering high-quality resuscitation efforts that ultimately restored a pulse and saved a life.

Today, we recognized these individuals for their decisive actions, professionalism, and commitment to others. Because of them, Mr. Apperson returned home to his family neurologically intact , the outcome we all strive for.

This is the Chain of Survival in action. This is what preparedness, partnership, and community look like.

Thank you to everyone involved for making a difference when it mattered most.

🚑 Mon EMS Leading the Way in Lifesaving Care 🩸

Mon EMS is proud to announce that we are now one of the first EMS jurisdictions in West Virginia to have 100% of our clinicians authorized to administer or assist with the administration of Whole Blood.

Following recent updates to West Virginia EMS protocols allowing EMTs to assist with blood administration, our team moved quickly. Over the past two months, every one of our EMTs successfully completed state-required training and passed the certification exam, a testament to their dedication and commitment to excellence in patient care.

This achievement means that every Mon EMS crew is now trained to deliver Whole Blood in critical situations, even when two paramedics are not available. Expanding this capability enhances our ability to provide rapid, lifesaving interventions for patients experiencing severe hemorrhage.

This is what progress in EMS looks like:
✔ Innovation
✔ Training excellence
✔ Commitment to our community

We are incredibly proud of our clinicians and grateful for the opportunity to continue raising the standard of care in Monongalia County and across West Virginia.

EMS PROTOCOL UPDATES - FOCUSING ON OB EMERGENCIES - UNDERWAY!

Mon EMS clinicians are actively training on the 2026 West Virginia Statewide Prehospital Protocol Updates, continuing our commitment to delivering the highest level of care to our community.

This year’s updates highlight West Virginia’s progressive, forward-thinking approach to EMS medicine, with a strong focus on obstetrical emergencies, including preeclampsia and eclampsia management, postpartum hemorrhage, and neonatal resuscitation. These are high-risk, low-frequency events where preparation and protocol-driven care make all the difference.

West Virginia continues to lead the nation by empowering clinicians at all levels with advanced, life-saving interventions. Notably, our updated protocols allow EMTs to administer Magnesium Sulfate and Oxytocin, ensuring that critical treatments for conditions like eclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage can begin immediately, when seconds matter most.

Through ongoing education and hands-on training, our teams are ready to apply these updates in the field, bringing cutting-edge care directly to our patients.

🚑🐶 ANNOUNCEMENT: Mon EMS Expands Into a New Emergency Service 🐶🚑

After careful analysis of call volume trends, leadership at Mon EMS has approved the launch of our newest specialized response unit:

🚨 The Boone Rapid Response Squirrel Interdiction Team (S.I.T.) 🚨

Over the past year, Boone has identified a significant increase in suspicious squirrel activity across Mon County parks, neighborhoods, and WVU campus. In response, Boone has volunteered to lead a highly specialized unit focused on:

🐿️ Advanced squirrel tracking
🌳 Tree-to-tree surveillance operations
🥜 Unauthorized acorn redistribution investigations
🚑 Rapid response to backyard disturbances

The program will initially deploy one highly motivated K9 officer (Boone) who has already demonstrated exceptional dedication to this mission.

Early testing has shown Boone responding to squirrel sightings in under 2 seconds, though command staff note that operational discipline remains a work in progress.

While this program may expand in the future, for now Boone will continue balancing squirrel patrol duties with his regular role as Mon EMS’ official morale officer.

Thank you for your support as we continue to innovate and protect the community.

…and of course…

Happy April Fools from Mon EMS and Boone! 🐶🐿️
