Remembering the Ultimate Sacrifice

Last Saturday, AMR San Diego was honored to participate in the annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb in San Diego, joining first responders, healthcare professionals, and community members to remember the heroes who answered the call on September 11, 2001.

We would like to remind everyone that the Stair Climb is not a competition but a day to honor and remember the brave men and women who selflessly responded that day. Every step climbed represents a tribute to their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to serving others.

AMR was proud to have a dedicated team of climbers participate in the event and to host a CPR education tent where the community could learn hands-only CPR and other lifesaving skills. What made the day even more special was that, even after completing the climb, several of our team members continued serving the community by returning to the tent and helping educate the attendees about CPR. Their dedication reflected the true spirit of the event: service, remembrance, and giving back.

Thank you to everyone who climbed, learned, volunteered, and supported this meaningful event. Together, we honored those who answered the call 25 years ago.

Watch out, San Diego! Not one, but TWO of our Basic Life Support crews were recognized for their professionalism, compassion, and dedication to serving our community.

EMTs Kaiya R. and Gage F. of BLS 270 were recently commended by the National City Police Department after taking the initiative to assist an elderly woman experiencing a mental health crisis. Although they were not dispatched to the incident, they quickly recognized the danger, used their ambulance to help protect her from traffic and de-escalated the situation. Their calm, compassionate approach ultimately convinced her to seek the medical care she needed. Their actions were praised as going above and beyond and we truly couldn’t agree more.

We would also like to recognize EMTs Joseph G. and Charles M. of BLS 293, who had responded to an 84 year old patient who had fallen out of bed and suffered a broken hip. With the patient also recovering from recent shoulder replacement surgery, Joseph and Charles moved him safely and comfortably, while providing optimal patient care, keeping him informed throughout the ordeal. The patient was then transported to a local hospital for appropriate care. Their professionalism and compassionate patient care earned a heartfelt praise from the patient’s family.

Thank you to Kaiya, Gage, Joseph and Charles for Keeping Care at the Center as a part of our Core Behaviors. Your commitment to treating every patient with kindness, respect, and compassion does not go unnoticed. 💙

Leaving the military doesn't mean starting over. 💪

As one of the nation's strongest military communities, we are proud to partner with the Department of Defense SkillBridge program by welcoming two new SkillBridge EMTs. The DoD SkillBridge program gives transitioning service members such as Michael Means and Samuel Amador the opportunity to gain valuable civilian career experience during their final 180 days of military service.

By continuing their service in EMS, Michael and Samuel already reflect our core behavior of Keeping Care at the Center, putting people first both in and out of uniform.

Thank you both for your service and welcome to the team! 🇺🇸
