Plano's New Blood Transfusion Program Marks A Life-Changing First
F or an 81-year-old Plano man experiencing severe internal bleeding, emergency medical care began long before he reached the hospital. The man became the first patient to receive a prehospital whole blood transfusion through Plano Fire-Rescue's new emergency medical program. He has since been discharged from the hospital after making a full recovery, according to the department. Plano Fire-Rescue said the early transfusion prevented the patient from going into cardiac arrest, giving hospital staff valuable time to identify and treat the source of his gastrointestinal bleeding. The case marks an important milestone for the program, which launched Sept. 1, 2026, in partnership with Medical City Plano. Bringing Blood Transfusions To The Scene Traditionally associated with hospital care, blood transfusions can now be administered by Plano Fire-Rescue personnel before patients arrive at an emergency department. The program allows the department to safely store, transport and administer whole blood during emergencies involving severe blood loss.

AT&T Breaks Ground On $1.35 Billion Global Headquarters In Plano
A new chapter is beginning for one of Plano's most recognizable development sites. AT&T officially broke ground on its $1.35 billion global headquarters Nov. 12, setting the stage for a massive corporate campus. The 54-acre property at 5400 Legacy Drive was once home to Electronic Data Systems (EDS), whose former headquarters buildings were imploded earlier this year to make room for AT&T's new campus. When construction is complete, the development will accommodate approximately 10,000 employees, bringing AT&T offices currently spread across Dallas, Plano and Irving together at one location. The groundbreaking also marked the installation of the campus's first fiber connection. AT&T executives and employees joined Plano Mayor John Muns, KDC President Eric Hage, Gensler Principal Scott Armstrong and CBRE Vice Chairman Andy Leatherman for the milestone. "Today marks an exciting milestone for AT&T and the city of Plano,” said Mayor John Muns during the ceremony. “This new global headquarters represents a significant investment in our community and reinforces Plano’s reputation as a place where businesses can grow and succeed. We’re proud to see this project taking shape and the opportunities it will bring to Plano.” AT&T Chairman and CEO John Stankey said the investment is intended to serve both
