John T. Miller named Deputy Director of Hamilton Co. Emergency Medical Services

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – The Hamilton County Emergency Medical Services has chosen John T. Miller as their Deputy Director.

Miller began his career as an EMT in McMinn County in 1988.

Two years later he moved to Hamilton County.

He was promoted to an Assistant Chief in 2016.

The Deputy Director runs day to day operations of the service.

“This service is made up of a cross section of rural, suburban and urban areas and we receive a huge variety of calls that allows, with experience, for a person to choose this as a life career.   The level structure here at HCEMS has always been here. I’m living proof that it’s a career service and that a person can start here and then become the Deputy Director,” said Miller. “It’s exciting for me to think that from this position I’m better poised to make positive changes for this service locally and maybe perhaps even regionally.”
