At its core, the job is about people helping people. 

Each year, they respond to about 40,000 calls. Their cardiac arrest survival rates exceed national standards. They routinely earn the American Heart Association's Mission Lifeline Gold Award. They achieve all that while being the calm in chaos and staying connected to the community. As the department prepares to move into a centrally located, state-of-the-art headquarters and celebrate 50 years of service, we sat down with those who do the job daily.

On this episode, we're on the front lines of compassion and care with Cabarrus County EMS.
