She is pictured with (from left) pilot Ken Gilliam, Base Clinical Lead Ginger Hill and fl ight paramedic Scotty Brewer. For longtime Waynesboro Water Systems Manager Annie Chiodo, a recovery from a lifethreatening medical emergency last year was made possible by two local agencies that, by her own admission, are the true heroes in her survival story. Chiodo, who suffered a total of seven strokes in April 2010, credits the quick actions of the Wayne County EMS and the Waynesboro Air Evac Lifeteam crew after suffering her fi rst stroke for her nearly 100 percent recovery. That Spring, the Waynesboro woman suffered a nearly fatal brain bleed that left her immobilized, and both agencies worked together to get Chiodo the lifesaving medical care she needed at Florence ECM Hospital. “They saved my life and gave it back to me, and they will always be in my heart,” said the longtime Waynesboro resident. “They are my true heroes, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.” The fi rst signs of trouble appeared while Chiodo was relaxing at home with husband Sam, she said. “I remember sitting there with my husband, and suddenly I wasn’t able to talk,” she explained. “I knew something was wrong, so I patted Sam’s arm to get his attention and he called 911.” Chiodo collapsed shortly afterward and was rushed by the Wayne County EMS directly to the Air Evac Lifeteam base at 915 Andrew Jackson. The Air Evac helicopter then transported Chiodo to Florence ECM Hospital to get the medical care she needed. Although she remembers little from the actual fl ight, Chiodo recalls being loaded into the red, white and blue Air Evac helicopter. She also recalls all the follow-up phone calls by the Air Evac crew to check on her condition. “They stayed in touch, and that really meant a lot to me,” she said. Air Evac Lifeteam, with ten locations in Tennessee and 105 nationally, is the preeminent air medical provider in the central United States, and provides rapid medical transport for patients like Chiodo who have suffered life-threatening medical emergencies. The Waynesboro Air Evac crew is led by Program Director Glynn Mooney, who is in charge of all operations at the base. Chiodo’s health scare continued a week later as she suffered some additional small strokes, and she ended up back at Florence ECM. She then spent nearly four months at Hermann Memorial Hospital in Houston, Texas, for the physical, speech, occupational, and optical post-stroke therapy she needed. Although she occasionally has trouble “getting the right words out” and with two fi ngers on her left hand not completely recovered, she proudly says she is “nearly normal” despite her ordeal 18 months ago. “Well, I’m as close to normal as I’m going to get,” laughed Chiodo, who then continued her praise for the Wayne County EMS and Air Evac Lifeteam. “I couldn’t have asked for better care from either group, and they work very well together,” she said. “Both of those groups are just awesome, and not only do I trust them with my life, butwith my family’s lives as well.” Air Evac Lifeteam, headquartered in West Plains, Mo., is the largest independently-owned air ambulance service in the country.
