It is with deep remorse that we at LifeTeam EMS announce the passing of one of our own.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Jeff Lenker — an Emergency Medical Technician who dedicated more than 30 years of service to the people of Dauphin County.

Jeff was more than an EMT. He was a mentor, a dependable partner, a compassionate caregiver, and someone who could always bring humor and calm to even the toughest days. Those who worked beside him knew that he never had a bad word to say about anyone and always carried himself with professionalism, humility, and respect.

Throughout his career with Millersburg Area Ambulance and Life Team, Jeff served his community with honor. He held the positions of President, Vice President, and proudly carried the respected title of Chief 20-A at Millersburg Area Ambulance — a role he fulfilled with tremendous pride, dedication, and commitment to both his community and the surrounding communities he served.

Jeff’s impact on EMS cannot be measured simply by years of service, but by the countless lives he touched, the providers he mentored, and the friendships he built along the way.

We extend our deepest condolences to Jeff’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and serving beside him.

Rest easy, Chief 20-A. Your service, leadership, and legacy will never be forgotten.

Today, during EMS Week 2026, we recognize “Save-A-Life Day” — a reminder that lifesaving skills are not limited to emergency responders alone. Every member of our community has the potential to save a life.

At LifeTeam EMS, we strongly encourage community members, healthcare professionals, and public safety personnel to pursue lifesaving education such as American Heart Association (AHA) CPR training and Stop the Bleed courses. These programs provide the knowledge and confidence needed to act quickly during emergencies when seconds truly matter.

Whether it’s recognizing cardiac arrest and beginning CPR, using an AED, or controlling severe bleeding before first responders arrive, these skills save lives every single day.

We are also incredibly proud of our own staff members, who remain our greatest asset when it comes to delivering lifesaving care. From emergency scenes and critical patient care to education and prevention efforts throughout our communities, our providers demonstrate professionalism, compassion, and clinical excellence every day.

Thank you to all of our EMTs, Paramedics, Dispatchers, Educators, and support staff who continue to make a difference when people need help most.
