Gerrish Township Fire/EMS

Two days of learning, networking, and getting better!

Over the last two days, Gerrish Township Fire & EMS was proud to host an incredible 12-Lead ECG and STEMI workshop taught by Tim Phalen. We welcomed EMTs and Paramedics from agencies across the county who joined us for of continuing education and discussion.

One of the things we love most about emergency services is that no matter how long you've been doing the job, there's always something new to learn. Medicine is constantly evolving, and we owe it to our patients and community to keep growing right along with it.
This class focused on recognizing STEMIs and NSTEMIs, identifying common STEMI imposters, and understanding what these conditions look like on a 12-lead ECG and, just as importantly, why they look that way. The discussions challenged providers to think beyond simply reading a monitor and to better understand the story the heart is telling.

A huge thank you to Stryker for sponsoring this educational opportunity and to The Butcher's Wife for providing lunch for everyone both days. We also want to thank all of the agencies and providers who took time out of their busy schedules to join us.

At Gerrish Township Fire & EMS, we don't believe in settling for "good enough." We are always looking for opportunities to learn, improve, and bring the very best care possible to our community.

Because being good isn't the goal. Being better is.

Today, we were honored to stand alongside fellow first responders and members of our community as we remembered the events of September 11, 2001.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the first responder agencies who joined us for our 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony. Your presence was a powerful reminder of the partnerships, dedication, and shared commitment that unite those who serve.

A special thank you to the Roscommon High School Marching Band for their beautiful performance of the National Anthem. Your contribution helped make the ceremony even more meaningful and memorable.

We are also grateful to the community members who took the time to attend and reflect with us. Your support and participation help ensure that the sacrifices of that day are never forgotten.

Together, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the enduring spirit of service that continues today.

Never Forget. 🇺🇸
