We'd like to thank Saint Vincent's Medical Center for recognizing 2 of our long time employees last night, Marguerite Haaga and William Ostroff. Both have been teaching EMT classes in our community for the last 25 years and have put hundreds of EMT's on the road for both the city of Bridgeport and the surrounding towns. I can't think of 2 more deserving or impressive mentors! Well done!!

This week, we recognize and celebrate those professionals who are the first, first responders.
When someone calls 911 for help, Telecommunicators answer the call. They remain calm and professional, offering life saving instructions while simultaneously dispatching multiple resources to the scene.
Thank you to all the Telecommunicators who dedicate their lives to helping others. We truly appreciate you.

We are saddened to learn about the passing of AMR EMT Marc Cohen yesterday.
Marc has been a part time EMT with us for many years and worked full time at Stamford EMS.
He was the consummate professional and genuinely cared about his coworkers and his patients.
Marc was extremely proud of his son, Jonathan, who plays hockey in college. He always had a big smile as he shared stories of his son’s practices and games. Marc also had a passion for bowling and pickleball on his downtime.
We will share details of any services as we learn of them. Rest easy Marc.
