We are late to the party, but, this week we celebrate National Emergency Medical Services Week. This is the time when we all pause to honor and celebrate EMS across the Country. Locally, as the Chief of Newtown Emergency Medical Services (AKA Newtown Ambulance Squad), I celebrate our personnel every day. Our professional and highly skilled Emergency Medical Technicians, Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians, and Paramedics respond to your call with the same skill at 6am, Noon, or 2:30 in the morning. They are present, ready, and sharp. The men and women of Newtown EMS are honored by your support, and are as strong as they are thanks to the support from our community and municipal officials. I am grateful for the personnel we have, for without those who have chosen to work here, Newtown EMS would not be what it is today. I am reminded daily by our staff’s ability to problem solve, innovate, and work to improve what we do on a daily basis. Happy EMS Week! -Chief Evan N. Resnikoff, M.S. NRP
