Lexington EMS summarizes transport priorities and community outreach

Staff member, a representative of Lexington EMS, told meeting attendees that the agency is the city’s primary 911 responder and described the service’s operational priorities and community outreach. “We’re a primary 911 service,” the staff member said, adding that the agency “try[s] to run paramedic on every trip as much as we can.”

The staff member said Lexington EMS provides convalescent and dialysis transports and handles other complex transports from hospitals back to patients’ homes. “So we wanna be able to provide, the real community of the dialysis, the transports back home from the hospital. It was all those complex transport,” the staff member said.

The representative also described planned community engagement: Lexington EMS staff will attend local sporting events and other gatherings. “We’ll see us out in the communities a lot. We’re very org oriented. So your football games, we’re gonna be a part of that. Your basketball games, we’re gonna be a part of that,” the staff member said, and mentioned colleagues named Ethan and Adrian as participants in that outreach.
