When you’re having a health emergency like a heart attack, every minute matters. Methodist Medical Center and the Anderson County Emergency Medical Services work together to make sure patients get the treatment they need as quickly as possible.

Methodist’s emergency heart team includes interventional cardiologists, emergency room doctors, nurses, technicians, and EMS personnel. Each one is trained and ready 24 hours a day, every day of the year. It’s their mission to open blocked arteries—as quickly as possible—and they do it 25 minutes faster than the national benchmark.

Learn more about emergency heart care and the services provided by Methodist Medical Center and the Anderson County EMS during Health Night on the Town. Join board-certified interventional cardiologist Dr. Milan Sheth and director of the Anderson County EMS Nathan Sweet at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Ridge Conference Room of Methodist Medical Center.

Sweet is the director of emergency services for the Anderson County EMS and has served in this role since 2009. He has been with the Anderson County EMS for more than 10 years, where he has also overseen Advanced Life Support Operations. Prior to that, Sweet served in the U.S. Air Force with both foreign and domestic tours of duty.

Sheth received his medical degree from the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth. He completed an internal medicine residency and general and interventional cardiology fellowships at Scott and White Memorial Hospital in Temple, Texas. Sheth is board-certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular medicine, and interventional cardiology. He is a member of the American College of Cardiology and is in practice with Parkway Cardiology Associates.

Health Night is a free medical lecture series and is open to the public. For more information about Health Night on the Town, call (865) 835-4662.
