Star of Life

Who is prepared to save a life and provide comfort during life’s scariest, and at times most tragic, moments? How often are these everyday heroes recognized? Are they ever celebrated?

The EMS Star of Life event honors the accomplishments of EMS personnel across the state who provide exemplary lifesaving care to adult and pediatric patients. The Star of Life Award recognizes exceptional front-line care, with a focus on the agencies and providers who are the initial care responders. The ceremony reunites the EMS caregivers with the individuals they treated.

The goal is to recognize exceptional front-line care, with a focus on the agencies and providers who are the initial care responders. The ceremony includes a presentation of the actual patient scenarios and reunites the EMS caregivers with the individuals they treated. Recipients will be chosen from each of the eight (8) EMS regions in the state. This is the premier event to recognize and honor our excellent pre-hospital providers, while also celebrating “EMS Week” within Tennessee.
