We're deeply saddened by Jim's passing. He was a friendly face to our members for over 25 years. In addition to his professionalism and dedication to serving others, he will be remembered by those lucky enough to know him for his friendship, compassion, and wonderful sense of humor. Our thoughts and hearts are with his family and his fellow officers.

CMU EMS was fortunate to receive personal protective equipment (PPE) last week. PPE is crucial to protect our crews, patients, and the CMU community in the fight against COVID-19. Thank you, Allegheny Health Network, for this generous donation!
