STANFORD - A who's who of Lincoln County leaders showed up Friday afternoon to dedicate the new Stanford EMS headquarters in memory of a Lincoln resident who is fondly remembered by many. The newly named Cindy Snow Hill Memorial Emergency Medical Services and Training Complex houses living space for on-duty EMS personnel, a large vehicle bay, training space and more along U.S. 27 south of Lincoln County High School. The complex's namesake, Cindy Snow Hill, was the wife of Stanford EMS Board of Directors Chairman T.J. Hill.

Jessamine County EMS director Jerry Domidion has been cleared of allegations he purposely withheld transport and aid to an EMT at the scene of a multi-vehicle wreck involving an ambulance in February that sent nine people to the hospital. State investigator Sam Lowe presented his findings to three members of the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services (KBEMS) in Versailles last Wednesday, Oct. 17. KBEMS found no fault in Domidion's procedures at the scene of the ambulance wreck that involved EMT Amanda Wood.

LANCASTER - Garrard County Emergency Medical Services now has one of only two bicycle medical units in Kentucky. Now, not only can five trained paramedics respond to emergencies at festivals or on ATV trails, but also those benefits come with minimal expense to the county. Michael Mullins Jr., who has worked as an emergency medical technician for two years and now serves as the bicycle medical unit team leader, spent much of his spare time soliciting community donations. With about $1,500 of donated funds, Garrard EMS Director Charles R. O'Neal purchased two bicycles, each outfitted with full life-saving equipment, as well as training for the five bike medics.

WINCHESTER¿FIRE-EMS - On Wednesday, emergency personnel responded to two general medical calls, one motor vehicle accident, four falls, one seizure, one respiratory case and one stroke.
