On Thursday, May 1, 2025, St. Mary’s County Department of Emergency Services received a 9-1-1 call for a patient experiencing chest pains.
The EMS crew was dispatched and upon arrival and initial assessment, it was determined that the patient was having a severe heart attack.
The assigned crew worked diligently to treat the patient and provide transport to a cardiac care facility for continued advanced care.
Less than a week later, the patient reached out to us to meet the crew so he could thank them in person for saving his life.
