A Second Chance at Life

Woman injured in Henry County dump truck accident becomes first Red Initiative recipient

By Katie Clontz

Angela Johnson sustained life-threatening injuries during a dump truck accident. Thanks to quick response from New Castle EMS members, a unit of whole blood and state-of-the-art medical equipment, she received an on-site blood transfusion.

Johnson survived and became the first patient to be treated through the Red Initiative program, a collaborative effort among New Castle EMS officials, the Henry County Community Foundation, the City of New Castle and Versiti Blood Center of Indiana.
