Thanks for saving Hembree’s life

Sheriff Ted Sexton

Discuss this story
Dear Editor: On behalf of the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office and the family of Cliff Hembree, I would like to thank the many people in our community, the churches, public safety agencies, restaurants and other organizations that contributed prayer, thoughts, words of encouragement, cards, e-mails, meals, visits, shoulders, financial contribution and many other acts of kindness. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for your support during this traumatic incident.

We wish to thank the DCH Regional Medical Center administration, physicians, nurses and staff that cared for Cliff and saved his life. A special thanks to the Trauma Surgical Intensive Care Unit that cared not only for Cliff but also supported the family and the Sheriff’s Office.

On the day of the incident, Nov. 29, there was great concern that Cliff would not survive. Thirty days later, he was transferred to Shepherd’s Center in Atlanta to begin his rehabilitation process.

We work side by side daily with other law enforcement agencies, fire departments and emergency service personnel. They too played a major role in saving Cliff’s life along with the immediate action of deputies and Tuscaloosa Police Officers on the scene. Communications personnel from the Tuscaloosa Police Department and the Sheriff’s Office, who coordinated with Tuscaloosa Fire/Rescue, North Star paramedics, provided support and other immediate needs while handling other calls for service needed by the citizens.

The on-scene care provided by paramedics played a major role in giving Cliff valuable minutes he needed to live through the serious injuries he received.
