Senate Joint Resolution 437, sponsored by Harshbarger, honors Wendy Doran, a 911 dispatcher in Sullivan County, for her exceptional service and quick thinking that led to her receiving the Lifesaving Award from the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office. This prestigious award is rarely given and recognizes Doran's heroic actions on December 19, 2024, when she responded to an emergency call from a father whose infant was unresponsive in the bathtub. Utilizing innovative technology called Rapid Deploy, Doran was able to provide real-time guidance to the father, instructing him on how to clear water from the baby's mouth, which ultimately restored the infant's ability to breathe until emergency medical services arrived.

The resolution expresses the General Assembly's gratitude for Doran's dedication and skill, emphasizing the importance of recognizing individuals who act selflessly to protect the lives of others. It concludes with a directive to prepare an appropriate copy of the resolution for presentation, underscoring the significance of her contributions to the safety and well-being of the community in Tennessee.
