The Tennessee Department of Health’s June 2025 disciplinary action report reveals significant violations among Middle Tennessee healthcare providers, with several practitioners in the Nashville area and surrounding counties receiving sanctions ranging from probation to complete license revocation.
Emergency Medical Services Violations
Nashville Area
The most serious case involved Nashville paramedic William Howard Moening, whose license was revoked after he self-administered medications while on duty. Moening had an adverse reaction requiring emergency medical care and failed to properly maintain narcotics logbooks, representing a significant breach of professional standards and patient safety protocols.
Tullahoma
Expedited Medical Services faced disciplinary action after operating an unpermitted ambulance for patient transport. During an audit, two of the company’s three ambulances failed inspection, and the service was unable to produce required run and personnel records. The company received three years of probation and a $250 civil penalty, with $50 assessed for each of 39 runs completed in the unpermitted vehicle.
Hendersonville
Amy Ziegler had her AEMT license revoked for making false entries in clinical documentation while attending paramedic school. The Board determined that dishonesty in educational records constituted grounds for permanent license removal.
