Januarys’ Recipients
Bill Moyer and Blake Hutchins “Walmart Lifesaver Award” recipients
This Team was recommended by their supervisor for reacting quickly and professionally in giving a Rutherford County resident a second chance at life. This Team was dispatched to a place of business for an unresponsive man down. Upon their arrival bystanders were performing CPR. This Team moved quickly and took over patient care. Patient was moved to the ambulance and treatments were performed and transport was not delayed. En route to the hospital patient began to respond. Patient was admitted to the hospital and days later was released. The quick response and treatments of these medics gave this patient a second chance to spend with their family. Thank you Bill and Blake.
