BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County EMS has achieved 2018 Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Plus recognition. The American Heart Association recognizes that pre-hospital personnel are the first providers of care to patients suffering from a STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) heart attack and are an integral part of the STEMI system of care impacting the overall care and outcome of the patient. This achievement illustrates a commitment to providing guidelines-based care while meeting high standards of performance. The Gold Plus recognition achievement is the highest level of recognition awarded by the American Heart Association.
