Last night, Machias Ambulance proudly held a dedication ceremony for the newest ambulance added to our fleet during EMS Week.
We were honored to celebrate this important milestone alongside members of our community, the Machias Selectboard, town leadership, and members of the Maine State Legislature. Your continued support of emergency medical services means a great deal to our organization and to the clinicians who serve this region every day.
This new ambulance expands our fleet to four ambulances, strengthening our ability to maintain coverage, improve reliability, and continue delivering timely, high-quality emergency medical care throughout the communities we serve. As this year’s EMS Week theme reminds us, “Improving Outcomes, Together,” investments in EMS directly impact the care and service our patients receive when they need us most.
While this ambulance is a vehicle, it also represents much more than that. Every ambulance tells a story long before it ever responds to its first call. This ambulance will impact thousands of future patients throughout its service life, including individuals and families who may depend on it during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
We would especially like to thank our EMS clinicians and staff for their continued dedication, professionalism, and service to our communities. The ceremonial “push-in” was a meaningful way to recognize the work our crews do every day and formally dedicate this ambulance to the service of our region.
Thank you again to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a success, and thank you for supporting Machias Ambulance Service and Emergency Medical Services during EMS Week.
Stay safe, we’re here if you need us.
