NATIONAL PARK — A Tennessee Army National Guard medical flight crew responded to an emergency air evacuation mission after a victim suffered a stroke while hiking in Great Smoky Mountain National Park on Thursday, April 15. At approximately 9 a.m., the Tennessee Military Department and Tennessee Emergency Management Agency were notified of a possible stroke victim near Clingmans Dome along the Appalachian Trail, needing immediate medical care. A UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter from the Tennessee National Guard’s Detachment 1, Company C, 1-171st Aviation Regiment based in Knoxville arrived on the scene, and the flight crew began rescue hoist operations. Crew members lowered to the patient and performed a brief medical assessment. The patient was then mobilized onto a litter and hoisted safely into the helicopter. Once onboard, the flight crew continued medical aid while en route to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville.
