CH EMS team members will be presented the award and honored at the NAEMT General Membership Meeting and Awards Presentation on Nov. 10, in Nashville, Tenn., and the following morning at EMS World Expo&#8217;s opening ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>CH EMS is being recognized for its advances in EMS education and training; innovations in pre-hospital care and protocol development implemented; medical community involvement; EMS system\/program upgrades implemented; worker safety and well-being programs implemented; injury- and illness-prevention projects implemented; and public-education project sponsorship programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great surprise to win this award,\u201d says Chris Cebollero, CH EMS chief. \u201cOur goal was to be the best EMS agency in the nation. This award is great confirmation for the department that has set their sights on delivering outstanding patient care, being leaders in our community and role models for our career field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CH EMS operates the largest hospital-based ambulance service in the state and the second largest ambulance service in the St. Louis metropolitan area as it provides primary 911 emergency services to north St. Louis County fire districts and communities \u2013 serving more than 250,000 people and responding to approximately 46,000 requests for service annually. Its fleet consists of 20 advanced life support ambulances and two command\/triage vehicles; and is staffed by 80 full-time first responders and 25 on-call responders, and eight full-time dispatchers.<\/p>\n<p>CH EMS has advanced hospital-based mobile integrated healthcare (MIH) in the community as part of its CHAP (Community Health Access Program), decreasing emergency department admission of non-emergent patients by 11 percent, and assisting patients to find primary care physicians. In addition, CH EMS focuses public education efforts on teaching children about 911 and emergency situations through its &#8220;No Panic Please!&#8221; program. CH EMS also enhanced its lifesaving care to the community last year by partnering with Youth In Need with each CH ambulance designated a mobile \u201cSafe Place\u201d for those in crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) and EMS World have named Christian Hospital Emergency Medical Services (CH EMS) recipient of the 2014 National EMS Service Provider of the Year.
