Hixson Elementary School Librarian Beth Hoelke invited various leaders from Hamilton County to be part of 2016 Dr. Suess' Read Across America event. The event was held to encourage students to get excited about reading.
Along with other agencies, emergency medical personnel of Hamilton County Emergency Medical Services visited various classrooms, reading the chosen book and answering questions about EMS and their duties as paramedics or an advanced emergency medical technicians.
HCEMS responded to more than 32,000 emergency calls in 2015, including the July 16 terrorist attack in Chattanooga. HCEMS was chosen as the Advance Life Support Service for 2015 by the Tennessee Ambulance Services Association.
