📞🚨 Happy Telecommunicators Week! 🚨📞

As we kick off National Telecommunicators Week, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank the incredible dispatchers of Gaines County.

They are the calm voice on the other end of the line during someone’s worst day… the first link in the chain of emergency response… and the ones who get us all moving when seconds matter most.

Too often they are behind the scenes and overlooked — but never forgotten. We simply could not do our job without them.

Thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to serving our community every single day.

We appreciate you more than words can say💛

🚨 **Big Win for Prehospital Care** 🚨

In this last legislative session, **$10 million** was built into the state budget to create and implement the deployment of **whole blood in the prehospital setting** — a major advancement in trauma care.

We are proud to share that **Seminole EMS** will be one of the EMS agencies in our region (**TSA-B**) selected to implement this lifesaving capability. We are currently working to train our leadership staff on the **operational and logistical requirements**, and in the months ahead **all personnel will participate in clinical training** to safely and effectively deliver this care.

This is an incredible milestone for prehospital medicine. The impact of whole blood in the field is expected to save **as many lives as the implementation of seat belts**. Let that sink in.

Progress like this doesn’t happen overnight — it happens through advocacy, education, and investment in EMS. We are honored to be part of the future of emergency care and excited for what this means for our patients and our community. 💪🚑🩸

🚑 **SEMTVA Monthly Meeting Reminder- February 3, 2026** 🚑

Seminole EMT Volunteer Association (SEMTVA) will be meeting on their **regularly scheduled night** — the **first Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM** at the **EMS station**.

Seminole EMS and SEMTVA have worked closely together since both organizations were formed. As a **licensed first responder organization**, SEMTVA members step up to help answer calls when call volume exceeds what our full-time staff can manage. They also play a vital role in **fundraising to purchase much-needed equipment** that directly supports patient care.

Most recently, SEMTVA purchased an **upgraded Narcotic Headquarters Box**, allowing for more secure storage of all controlled medications in supply — a significant and much-appreciated improvement.

We are incredibly thankful for SEMTVA’s continued partnership, dedication, and support of our mission. Strong partnerships like this help keep our crews equipped and our community safe. 💙
