The Hamilton County emergency team on Feb. 15 arranged a unique transport of a heart from Erlanger Hospital to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville to a waiting heart transplant recipient.
The weather at the time was too bad for a helicopter flight so local telecommunicators set up a plan for a police escort on the roads and interstate from one hospital to the other.
It worked and the heart recipient was overwhelmed with emotion when she learned of the extraordinary steps that were taken to provide her with the life-saving heart.

Hamilton County 9-1-1 Emergency Communications District employees have a strong history of community involvement and charity every year to aide those in need in the Chattanooga area, including their annual food drive in support of the Chattanooga Area Food Bank.
The annual food drive is organized as an internal competition among all three shifts of telecommunicators as well as the administration staff during the month of November. In spite of challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, 9-1-1 employees vowed to continue with the food drive in an effort to live up to the District motto of “We Promise to Help.”
