Lifesaving Award Presented: Phelps, MO

ROLLA, MISSOURI – In August 2022, the Phelps County Jail Staff were presented with a patient who was in need of immediate medical attention. While we cannot provide more details due to federal patient privacy and confidentiality laws, we can tell you that this team did not freeze.

Utilizing their training and professionalism, these individuals worked together to resuscitate the patient. They did not leave the patient’s side until EMS could arrive.

This team of individuals saved the patient’s life.

Saving a life is a team effort. To celebrate their actions and recognize all individuals involved, Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc.
