How We Measure Up

Cheatham County EMS holds an “A” rating by the State of Tennessee Department of Health, Division of Emergency Medical Services. In order to achieve this rating, the State of Tennessee requires the service to provide capabilities for advanced life support or special critical care on ninety-five percent (95%) of emergency runs within their service area, providing this service twenty-four (24) hours a day. We exceed this requirement by staffing every unit with a Paramedic.
