When it comes to a stroke, every second counts. During Stroke Awareness Month, we’d like to remind our communities that knowing the signs of a stroke can help you act FAST in an emergency.

Stroke can happen at any age. Recognizing the signs of stroke and calling 9-1-1 immediately can mean the difference between life and death, or the difference between a better recovery and a lasting disability.
Let’s all share the FAST signs of stroke: https://bit.ly/4egUoxB.

We recently received a message from a family member, expressing their gratitude for the kindness and professionalism shown by our team members Kelsey Karst, Brooke McInnes, and student Alyssa Potter.

While our crews never know what a call might bring, it's always special to hear how their care and compassion made a difference.

You've heard of Bring Your Kid to Work Day... but have you heard of Bring Your Baby Goat to Work Day?

One of our EMR team members, Travis, stopped by our headquarters with a very special guest. The little visitor made the rounds and stole some hearts. After all, it's not every day you get to say you cuddled up with a baby goat.

Thanks for stopping by, Travis. Tough act to follow. 🐐🧡

Hot weather can be more than uncomfortable, it can be dangerous. Before heading out in the heat, take a moment to run through these simple heat safety essentials.

Stay hydrated, limit your time in the direct sun when possible, and check in on family, friends, and neighbours.

If you or someone you know is showing signs of heat related illnesses, such as:

• Moist, warm, dry or hot skin
• Headaches, weaknesses, nausea, vomiting, and fainting
• Anxiety, dizziness or altered behaviour (irritable, aggressive, unusual)
• Rapid or shallow breathing

Call 911 in case of emergency. Our teams are out in the community and ready to help whenever needed.

Stay cool and stay safe, everyone! ☀️

As Paramedic Services Week comes to an end, we’d like to once again thank our paramedics for the diligence, skills, and commitment you bring to those who rely on you.

You support one another, care for the people you serve, and continue to show up with professionalism and heart in every situation.

Thank you for the difference you make in our communities, not just this week, but throughout the entire year. 💙

Marissa Chartier knew from a young age that she wanted to work in healthcare and do something she felt would make a real difference in people’s lives during their most difficult moments. After being accepted to both a nursing and Primary Care Paramedic program at the same time, it was the idea of being outdoors, being able to respond directly to people when they needed help, and being able to provide initial care outside of the hospital that ultimately led her to choose paramedicine.

Marissa began her career as a Primary Care Paramedic in November of 2021 in Moose Jaw. In 2023, she continued her paramedicine career in Yorkton. During that time, she built a strong foundation in patient care, communication, and teamwork, gaining valuable experience in adaptability and remaining calm under pressure.

Feeling motivated to challenge herself and continue improving the level of support she could provide to patients and teammates, Marissa decided to return to school in late 2023 to become an Advanced Care Paramedic.

“I worked alongside many ACP’s and had some great role models which made me realize I wanted to expand my knowledge, take on greater responsibility, and develop more advanced skills to provide higher level of care to my patients. Returning to ACP school was both challenging and rewarding, it pushed me to grow personally and professionally.”

Marissa has now been a licensed ACP since July 2025, and continues to expand her clinical skills, knowledge, and ability to provide advanced care in challenging situations.

“I am still new to being an ACP, but I am excited to see what else my future holds in this current role and where I may expand my career next.”

Thank you, Marissa, and all paramedics, for everything you do for your patients, your colleagues, and your communities.

Medavie Health Services West Crestvue is fortunate to have dedicated and passionate paramedics who push themselves to be the best they can be for the communities they serve.

They show up every day with care, compassion, patience, and professionalism; not just during the big moments, but in the quiet ones too.

No matter what the day brings, our paramedics lead with strength, empathy and commitment in everything they do. They are constantly learning, growing, and supporting each other so they can provide the best care possible when it matters the most.

Paramedic Services Week gives us an opportunity to recognize and celebrate our team, but our appreciation for them goes far beyond this week. Thank you to each and every paramedic for the work that they do, the support that they give, and the difference they make in the lives of so many people.

Every day, paramedics and nurses work side by side to support our communities through emergencies, difficult moments, and recovery. We see firsthand the impact nurses have not only on patients, but the entire healthcare system around them.

From busy departments to patient handovers and continued care, your role shapes the experience and outcomes of so many people every single day.

Thank you for everything that you do.
