The Butler County EMS unit was given an award on February 26, 2013 for outstanding work in the care of STEMI patients, as well as their contribution to the Medical Center's regional STEMI network.
STEMI, short for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction is a very serious type of heart attack in which the coronary artery is entirely blocked by a blood clot. As a result, all the heart muscle that is supplied by that artery begins to die.
