Lancaster EMS would like to give a big thank you to Doris’s Quilters for Vets for their donation to the veterans on our team! Each quilt is unique and was handmade by volunteers. Phyllis, one of the group members, visited our headquarters to deliver them and share more about their mission.

Doris’s Quilters for Vets was founded in 2016 by Doris Fahnestock after she turned her passion for sewing into a way to honor those who have served. Since then, the group has donated more than 1,900 handmade quilts across all 50 states.

We appreciate the thoughtfulness and time that went into handmaking these quilts for our veterans. Thank you again!

If you would like to donate supplies, volunteer with the group, or nominate a veteran, call 717-468-5831.

Please join Lancaster EMS in congratulating AEMT Stoner and EMT Roldan Vanegas on receiving gold brain pins from Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital! These pins recognize their exceptional prehospital care of a stroke patient.

Their quick action and transport allowed the patient to arrive at LGH and receive treatment within 30 minutes, which can reduce or even reverse the damage caused by a stroke.

Great work, AEMT Stoner and EMT Roldan Vanegas!
