When someone is badly hurt and losing blood, minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Temple is launching a pre-hospital whole blood program that allows paramedics to start transfusions before a patient ever reaches the ER.

🩸 A New Lifesaving Advancement for Coryell Health EMS 🩸

We're proud to share that Coryell Health EMS is now carrying whole blood in the field, bringing an advanced level of emergency care directly to patients when it matters most.

For patients experiencing severe blood loss, receiving whole blood before arriving at the hospital can improve outcomes and provide a critical bridge to definitive care.

This achievement would not be possible without the support and collaboration of our incredible partners throughout the region. Thank you to the agencies, providers, hospital teams, and state legislators who helped make this program a reality.

Together, we're advancing emergency care in our region and improving outcomes for the patients in communities we serve.

Pre-hospital whole blood transfusion has now officially begun in the CENTEX region. Through the dedication and collaboration of our participating EMS agency partners, along with the exceptional support, vision, and leadership of the staff, administrators, and medical directors at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Temple, this capability has become a reality for our region.
This milestone represents a significant advancement in trauma and emergency care and is the result of extensive planning, coordination, and commitment from numerous stakeholders. What was once viewed by some as an ambitious or unattainable goal has now been successfully implemented, providing our pre-hospital providers with a critical resource to improve care for patients experiencing life-threatening hemorrhage and other severe emergencies.
This achievement demonstrates what can be accomplished through strong partnerships, shared vision, and a steadfast commitment to improving patient outcomes. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, expertise, and support to making this program a reality for the citizens and responders of the CENTEX region.
