Emergency Medical Services
Maury Regional Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is an A-rated department consisting of paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) who are state certified to provide the highest quality emergency medical care. It is designated as the Regional Communications Center for southern Middle Tennessee, coordinating communications among ambulance services, hospitals, emergency management and public safety agencies in the thirteen-county area.
In situations
where there has been an intense trauma, Maury Regional Medical Center
calls upon emergency air services—including Vanderbilt
LifeFlight, Air Evac and Huntsville MedFlight—to transport
patients to specialized trauma centers. LifeFlight has a unit stationed
at the Mount Pleasant airport—just a few miles from Maury Regional
Medical Center.
In addition, Maury Regional Medical Center works with Vanderbilt LifeFlight
to offer free bi-monthly education programs for emergency personnel,
including paramedics, EMTs, critical care nurses and occupational
medicine personnel. For more information about EMS Night Out continuing
education programs, call 931.490.4665 or view the calendar
