SUMMARY: Louisville EMS, responding to 120,000 calls annually, has become the first agency in Kentucky to provide blood transfusions in the field. Partnering with the American Red Cross, they will use emergency blood to intervene early, giving trauma victims crucial extra minutes before reaching the hospital. Studies show that early blood transfusions can increase survival rates by 75-85%. Two EMS vehicles will be equipped with blood coolers and warming machines to maintain patients’ body temperatures. The program aims to expand in a year, improving trauma care and saving more lives by addressing blood loss, a leading cause of death in trauma victims.

JCPS says first day went smooth after some routes added back

SUMMARY: JCPS reported a smooth first day of school after reinstating bus service for six schools, although many still lack transportation. Parents expressed challenges with drop-offs and pickups, preferring bus service. Last year’s cutbacks by the Jefferson County Board of Education eliminated transportation for most magnet and traditional schools. On the first day, approximately 1,100 students benefited from resumed bus routes, supported by existing and TARC drivers. JCPS Chief Operating Officer Rob Faulk mentioned ongoing recruitment to increase driver numbers and hopes to expand services further. Families using bus service will continue to receive a transportation stipend until the end of the school year.
