Senate Joint Resolution 437, sponsored by Harshbarger, honors Wendy Doran, a 911 dispatcher from 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 individuals who act heroically to protect the lives of others. On December 19, 2024, Doran received a distress call from a father whose infant was unresponsive in the bathtub. She promptly provided lifesaving instructions over the phone, utilizing innovative technology that allowed her to monitor the baby's condition in real time.

Doran's actions included instructing the father to use a bulb syringe to clear water from the infant's mouth, which successfully restored the baby's ability to breathe until emergency medical services arrived. The resolution expresses gratitude for Doran's dedication and skill, emphasizing the importance of her role in saving lives during critical situations. It concludes with a formal commendation from the Tennessee General Assembly, recognizing her invaluable service to the state.
