Whole Blood Initiative
The Tidewater EMS Council has been serving the tidewater region's EMS system since 1974.
Tidewater EMS Council plays an important role in ensuring that the highest levels of care, training and support are provided. Building and sustaining relationships with other healthcare partners and agencies in the area and around the state is integral to the contributions TEMS makes to the EMS system.
Regarding the recently implemented Whole Blood Program- "For the everyday citizen, what we are seeing is that we are managing our trauma patients better. We are essentially incorporating and managing a process that helps treat patients who have been exposed to violence and have at least a chance to survive."
Tidewater EMS Council serves the regional EMS System with ongoing training programs, leadership and oversight. Services to EMS and the greater healthcare community provided by the Council are many and varied.
