Trident Medical Honors Berkeley County First Responders for Life-Saving Actions

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – More than 60 Berkeley County first responders were recognized this week for their role in saving two lives during separate trauma incidents earlier this year.

Trident Medical Center hosted a challenge coin ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 11, to honor personnel from multiple agencies whose efforts were credited with ensuring the survival of two critically injured patients in May and August. Both victims were transported to Trident Medical Center, where they received treatment.

“The successful outcome of these calls was the result of a true team effort, with every agency playing a critical role in saving two lives,” said Deputy Chief Montorony Jenkins of Berkeley County Emergency Medical Services. “Together, these efforts highlight the strength of collaboration from first responders across Berkeley County to protect and serve our community.”
