Clinical Specialist James Yarbrough Medic Katie Lorenz

While working Medic 33, K. Lorenz and J. Yarbrough stepped up to help a fellow crew who had been running almost their entire shift without a break. The crew at Medic 5 had run multiple calls during the day and had been up most of the night without a break and was nearing the end of their shift when they were dispatched to another call that most likely would have made them get off late. Medic 33 had just returned to station from a call when they volunteered to take this call for Medic 5 so that the crew could have a break and get off of their shift on time. This is a great example that shows a dedication to teamwork and a dedication to the mission of our depart- ment. Thank You to Anna Lorenz and James Yarbrough for stepping up and helping your fellow coworkers.

We are pleased to announce: Elaina Lopez as our new Muni-Prog Administrative Support reporting to the EMS Billing department.
