From May 19 to May 25, our communities are honoring the exceptional emergency medical services provided by volunteer organizations during “National EMS Week.” On behalf of Southampton Hospital’s Board of Directors and staff, I want to acknowledge the outstanding professionalism and dedicated community service of our local EMS volunteers. Their ability to provide first-class emergency medical service is deeply appreciated.
Many people are not aware that EMS providers are volunteers—your friends and neighbors—ready at a moment’s notice to provide life-saving assistance. They devote many hours away from their families 24/7, 365 days a year. They are required to take additional hours of mandatory, ongoing training to maintain and expand their certifications. They are a very special group of individuals. If you know someone selflessly serving our community with life-saving help, please take a moment this week to thank them.
Volunteers are always needed. If you wish to feel the pride of making a critical difference in your community, I encourage you to join your local EMS agency. Please call 1-877-WE2-WANTU (877-932-9268) for more information. You’ll be glad you did.
Sincerely,
Robert S. Chaloner
President and CEO
Southampton Hospital
