Our personnel have just cleared from a response to Gray's Arch, where an approximately 65 year old hiker began experiencing stroke-like symptoms. Our Wilderness Paramedic was backed up by the crew of Powell County Emergency Medical Services EC-1. . . As always, our fantastic partners Powell County Search & Rescue were ready with their patient evacuation and incident management expertise. Special thanks to U.S.Forest Service-Daniel Boone National Forest Law Enforcement and Visitor Use rangers for their assistance controlling traffic around the trailhead.

Yesterday, two of our Paramedics and one of our Physicians provided medical coverage for the @redrivergorgeruggedred half marathon. At various points we attached to @wolfecountysar , Tri-Community Fire Department, and Powell County SAR, treating five patients at points along the course. #sar #wildmed #sportsmedicine #wildernessEMS #redstar

Big day in the #RRG yesterday, working with @kyarmyguard @airforcespecialtactics and local SAR teams on a field training exercise involving two lost and injured hikers. 238th Wildcat Dustoff inserted @sar_pup to locate the subjects. Then, we teamed up with the @123airliftwing PJs and CCTs to treat their injuries related to a simulated fall off a 5 story cliff. @wolfecountysar and Powell County SAR raised them up. Then, the flight Paramedics of the 238th hoisted the patient, along with one of our Nurses, and flew them to Lexington for a trauma alert drill @ukhealthcare Level 1 trauma center. Special shout out to @amr_social whose Lexington crew transferred our patient from the tarmac at Bluegrass airport to UK. A phenomenal day dedicated to patient-centered care. #sar #wildernessEMS #dustoff #medevac #greenfeet
