Memorial Hermann Life Flight

Memorial Hermann locations across Houston lowered their U.S. flags to half-staff as our community came together for a moment of reflection on events of September 11, 2001. We honor all who lost their lives, including EMS providers, firefighters and first responders, as well as veterans who answered the call to serve in the military and others who have been affected. We are grateful for the courage demonstrated by first responders at the scene and those who help us save lives every day.

This National Telecommunications Week, we honor the voices behind the chaos. In moments of crisis, dispatchers are the calm voice on the other end of the line, guiding first responders, offering reassurance and making split-second decisions that save lives. Their work is the vital first link in the chain of emergency response and trauma care.

Thank you to all members of the Memorial Hermann Life Flight® dispatch team and dispatch personnel in the greater Houston area for being the lifeline in every emergency.
