Baylor Grapevine Hospital Honors Southlake Fire Crews

An award luncheon was held on Tuesday, December 10th in Grapevine.

Southlake Fire crews recently attended Baylor Grapevine’s quarterly/Annual EMS Awards luncheon, in which two Southlake Fire Department crews were recognized.

Baylor Grapevine awarded the “STEMI of the Year Award” to Field Training Officer JP Adams and Firefighter/EMT Landon Beck.  This amazing award recognizes the incredible work and coordination between our EMS providers and the hospital staff during a crucial time-sensitive heart attack on July 20th of this year.

Because of the rapid pre-hospital care and early notification to the hospital, the patient received definitive cardiac treatment 28 minutes after our crew first contacted him, and was discharged home the next day.  Firefighter/EMTs Spencer Johnson and Brady Tackett, and Lieutenant Ryan Sessums were also recognized, but unable to be present for the award.

Another Southlake crew was awarded Baylor Grapevine’s CPR of the Quarter Award from a September 20th cardiac arrest call.  That patient went into cardiac arrest at a public recreational facility and was resuscitated in place until he regained a pulse. The patient was transported to the hospital, where he recovered for about two weeks, before being discharged home.

The award celebrated Firefighter/Paramedic Chase Villarreal, Firefighter/EMT Colby McSpedden, FTO Nic Miles, and Lieutenant Frank Molinets for their efforts during the call.
