Because of their outstanding performance, the Idaho Falls Fire Department’s EMS and EIRMC were presented with the high achievements from the American Heart Association.
The Idaho Falls Fire Department’s EMS division received the Mission Lifeline Gold Plus Award for its swift response times. This marks the departments third year of recognition from the AHA after receiving the lifeline silver and gold awards.
“The crews that are out on the ambulances are delivering high-quality care that meets American Heart Association standards and guidelines, and what that means to the public is that they’re getting to the patients quickly, determining what the problem is and then getting those patients to definitive care at EIRMC as quickly as possible,” Idaho Falls Fire Department EMS Division Chief Eric Day says.
The mission lifeline initiative the department utilizes provides tools and training to support heart attack care from the most recent treatment guidelines provided by the AHA. Both EMS, hospitals and other supporting agencies are recognized through this award.
