Premier Health honored the Xenia Fire & EMS Division with the Trauma Coin for their life-saving actions on December 8, 2025.
Crews responded to a cardiac arrest at an extended care facility, where staff had already begun CPR. Xenia Fire & EMS personnel took over care, provided advanced life support, and achieved return of pulses before transporting the patient to Miami Valley Hospital.
In an outcome seen in less than 1% of cardiac arrest cases, the patient was discharged neurologically intact.
Thank you to Premier Health for recognizing the outstanding work of our first responders!
