• Putnam County EMS now equipped to give blood transfusions in the field (wsmv.com) — Putnam County EMS, based in Cookeville, is now carrying blood products in climate-controlled coolers so paramedics can start transfusions before patients ever reach the hospital. Local leaders say several recent emergencies might have turned out differently with this capability. The move follows successful in-ambulance transfusion programs in other Tennessee counties and relies on a partnership with Blood Assurance.
