He was happy to tell the Board that the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division has received the NACo 2013 Achievement Award for its STEMI Alert Program in the Health category. Mr. Villani said thanks go to the paramedics and EMTs for their work in the advanced level of cardiac care. Joining Mr. Villani at the podium are Al Herndon, EMS Division Chief; Mitch Mongell, CEO of the Fort Walton Beach Medical Center; and Kevin Burton. Mr. Mongell explained the typical timeframe from door to balloon for cardiac emergencies is 90 minutes. However, because of the innovational program with EMS, at Fort Walton Beach Medical Center that time is under 55 minutes. He added they are able to bypass the emergency department and go the cath lab where an Interventional Cardiologist is waiting and in some cases the elapsed time is under 30 minutes. Mr. Mongell said this program saves lives and heart muscle. Chief Herndon stated the EMS division is “where the rubber meets the road” and spoke highly of the paramedics and EMTs who get this done. VISITOR - DR. KAREN CHAPMAN, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IN OKALOOSA COUNTY, AGREEMENT FOR RENOVATION OF CRESTVIEW AND FWB FACILITIES Dr. Karen Chapman, Director of the Florida Department of Health in Okaloosa County, stated this is a formal request to go forward with renovation of the Crestview and Fort Walton Beach facilities. She stated the building costs exceeded their reserves and pointed out their State allocation was vetoed. As a result, Dr. Chapman said they are unable to move forward with 100% of the planned renovations. She advised that the Crestview facility was priority and renovations are fully funded for that building. Dr. Chapman said the department has just under $400,000 for the Fort Walton Beach facility but that is not sufficient to complete the work. Dr. Chapman stated she has sent a capital outlay request to the Florida Department of Health for completion of the renovations. She said an agreement between the Florida Department of Health August 6, 2013 -3- Minute Book 69, Page 263 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners and Okaloosa County is required which states that if the funds are awarded, the county agrees to let the Okaloosa County Health Department continue to occupy the buildings.
