“Through our Texas Healthy Communities Grant, these agencies were awarded and are also the first in the Rio Grande Valley to be a part of this program where the whole purpose of our EMS 911 contractors and EMS programs is to save lives, and to encourage, that if a person is having a heart attack or a stroke, they are treated at advanced levels to get a higher incidences of recovery.”

Mission: Lifeline EMS Recognition, a program designed to showcase Emergency Medical Service organizations across the nation, focuses on saving lives of patients suffering from the most severe form of heart attack, as ST-elevated myocardial infarction, or STEMI, where the coronary artery is completely and suddenly blocked.
