Staff and their families watched the Lancaster Stormers take on the Long Island Ducks from the TEC Pavilion while enjoying a Hess’s Barbecue buffet. Our Executive Director, Bob May, kicked off the game by throwing out the first pitch.

A huge thank you to Putting Others First for sponsoring this year’s event!

Lancaster EMS was called to the scene of a man experiencing chest discomfort that began after doing work around his home. When the crew arrived, they provided treatment for acute coronary syndrome. However, during transport to the hospital, the patient went into cardiac arrest.

CPR was started, and the patient was defibrillated once with an immediate return of spontaneous circulation, causing him to regain consciousness before care was transferred over to hospital staff. The patient was later discharged with no deficits.

The Emergency Health Services Federation recognized Paramedic Reyes, EMT Feliciano, and EMT Pipchinski with Clinical Save awards for their outstanding patient care. Congratulations!

Our Director of Operations, Jerry Schramm, gave the students a tour of our headquarters on Fairview Ave and one of our ambulances. During the tour, he shared information about Lancaster EMS, the programs we offer, and how we support our community. The group also got to see some of the equipment crews use every day, including the Stryker LUCAS 3 device.

Thank you American Home Life International (AHLI) for thinking of us for this opportunity!
