With Deepest Gratitude.
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to the Muskogee County EMS employees who assisted my husband and me on Saturday evening.
I had to call for an ambulance to transport my husband to the hospital, and although I regret not getting the names of the gentlemen who helped us, I will never forget their professionalism, compassion, and quick response. From the moment they arrived, they acted swiftly in assessing my husband’s condition and getting him safely to the hospital. Throughout the entire process, they communicated clearly with me, explaining what was happening and what to expect. Before leaving, they even took a moment to remind me to wear my seatbelt and drive carefully while following them to the hospital, which meant a great deal to me.
Once we arrived at the hospital, they continued to show kindness and patience by explaining the process, what the doctors would be doing, and where I could wait to be called back. After my husband was evaluated, it was determined that he required a higher level of care, and another EMS crew was called to transport him to Tulsa. That crew also responded quickly and ensured he was transferred without delay.
Shortly after arriving in Tulsa, my husband suffered a major medical emergency, and we were unsure if he would survive. Because of the quick actions, readiness, and timely transport by your EMS teams, I truly believe their efforts may have helped save his life. For that, I am forever grateful.
I have only had to call for an ambulance twice in my life, but both times Muskogee County EMS treated us with exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism. This experience had such a powerful impact that my daughter—who had been considering becoming an EMT after she graduates in 2026—made the firm decision to pursue that path after watching your crews in action.
Thank you all for what you do every day. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and it truly makes a difference.
