Published January 20, 2026

Medical Center EMS has been recognized by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) for their collaboration with The Medical Center at Bowling Green as a Partner in Care.

The ACC’s EMS Partner in Care Recognition highlights EMS agencies that have a solid partnership with a Chest Pain Center (CPC) Accredited or Certified facility. Participating facilities build robust, ongoing relationships with their local and regional EMS partners to ensure the highest level of care for patients who may be experiencing a heart attack. EMS Partner in Care Recognition is the opportunity to showcase the valuable collaboration between the hospital and EMS to the community and patients, showing that, as a team, you are delivering the best practice in patient care.

“This recognition from the American College of Cardiology reflects the dedication of our EMS teams and the strength of our partnership with The Medical Center,” said Seth Wilson, Director of Medical Center EMS. “Every minute matters during a cardiac emergency, and this collaboration allows us to deliver rapid, coordinated care that truly makes a difference for our patients. Our EMS professionals are often the first point of care for patients experiencing a heart attack, and their actions set the course for everything that follows. This ACC recognition affirms the critical role our crews play and the seamless coordination we have with The Medical Center to ensure the best possible outcomes.”

EMS pre-hospital care and treatment directly impact patient outcomes by preparing patients for the ED or Cath Lab. With EMS Partner in Care, the ACC recognizes the crucial role of EMS in initiating care and getting the patient to the right hospital at the right time to impact the overall patient outcome.
