Jason Grady, NRP
System Manager
Emergency Cardiac Care
Northside Hospital
Welcome to the CV Team Section of the Georgia Chapter of the American College of Cardiology. As a member of the Council it is my duty to represent the cardiovascular team members.
I attended Texas Tech University where I obtained my paramedic license in 1997. In 1998 we moved to Georgia where I worked as a paramedic in Atlanta and then for Gwinnett County Fire Department. In 2004 I had the opportunity to work for a hospital in northern Georgia in the cath lab as a staff member, educator and regional STEMI coordinator for the next 16 years. During that time, with my long history in EMS and education, I was privileged to be part of a team that built a large, coordinated STEMI network treating over 400 STEMIs a year in a geographical area comprised of 18 counties with 12 community hospitals; both EMS and hospitals working under one unified treatment and communication protocol. This volume allowed us the opportunity to expand into the coordination and treatment of out of hospital cardiac arrest and the aggressive treatment of cardiogenic shock. In January 2021 I moved to Northside Hospital where I serve as the system manager of emergency cardiac care. I continue to work throughout the state and nation to improve care for patients who have these significant events.
As members of the CV Team it is our responsibility to engage with our patients and colleagues by increasing our involvement, knowledge and participation in clinical care and professional relationships. The Georgia Chapter of the American College of Cardiology is a great place to do this. As a member you have access to the top experts in the field as well as the most up to date studies and outcomes. Membership also allows for collaboration in a host of sub-specialties with like-minded and driven colleagues. Thank you for being a part of amazing community.
Sincerely,
Jason Grady, NRP
