As County Mayor, I am honored to name John Michael Poss as the interim Chief of Sumner County’s Emergency Medical Services effective March 1st, 2023. During a meeting of the leadership team, Mr. Poss emerged as the clear choice of his peers and has received overwhelming support from the team. Mr. Poss brings over 20 years of experience with Sumner County and currently serves as a Battalion Chief. He has the skillset and temperament to lead the organization to even greater heights.
Mr. Poss will serve as interim and work closely with Chief Greg Miller, who is retiring after serving a distinguished career, during the transition period. Mr. Poss will be the County Mayor’s recommendation to the County Commission for confirmation in March.
On a final note, I am grateful for the selfless service of all our emergency workers. Moreover, we, as a county, are blessed to have a leadership team that came together for the betterment of the department and the citizens to ensure that we promote from within and send a message to every EMS professional that they have a future with Sumner County through hard work and dedication.
John C. Isbell
Sumner County Mayor
