As EMS Week winds down, I am sitting home thinking about my day, as I do every evening. Tonight’s thoughts and reflections are not so much about celebrating EMS Week itself, rather our staff at Edwards Ambulance. Collectively, Edwards Ambulance cannot remain a successful entity and provide top-level prehospital care to our community without top-level providers.
Though we employ many wonderful and talented people, I would like to dedicate this post to some of the many providers who not only work for us, but also have been enrolled in school to further their education and continue to make a difference in this world.
The following providers are just a few of our talented staff that juggled work, family, school and many other daily demands, all while remaining professional and striving to help others in their time of need. Together, they truly make a difference and are working hard to make this world a better place.
