Partner With Cullman EMS To Reduce Suffering
The ladies of the Berlin Sunshine Club invited Cullman EMS Director James Curtis to speak at their most recent monthly meeting at the Berlin Community Center.
Curtis' message had a powerful and motivating impact on the several members of this 63-year old Cullman County women's group. Longtime club member Wanda Hodge particularly resonated with the EMS Director's message.
Hodge attended the meeting wearing a handmade cell phone holder around her neck. She explained the potential life-saving benefits of this simple cloth device. She also talked at length about the comfort and sense of security it gave her when thinking about a possible medical emergency.
The discussion between Curtis and Hodge led to a logical next step: Supplying these cell phone holders to Cullman County residents who may be living in vulnerable medical situations.
The jointly agreed idea has allowed Cullman EMS field technicians to carry these devices in their ambulances and dispense them as needed as they make emergency calls 365/24/7.
