The hospital, which is working towards Level III Trauma

recognition of EMS contributions to excellent patient care, team work, and
collaboration with healthcare partners.
Frankfort Fire and EMS,
Anderson County EMS, and Air Methods Kentucky were each included in the
awards, and from Air Methods Kentucky those staff members with the most
nominations were Flight Paramedic Tim Dixon, Flight Paramedic Phil Knecht,
and Flight Nurse Martin "Moe" Nethery.
Mr. Knecht was recognized as

Learning that our
