🎉 75 Years of Answering the Call 🚑

This weekend, we proudly celebrated 75 years of service by the Waynesboro First Aid Crew (WFAC)-- a milestone honoring generations of volunteers, staff, supporters, and community partners who have dedicated themselves to helping others in their time of need.

Founded in December 1950, WFAC began with a vision to serve the community. Since answering its first emergency calls in 1951, the Crew has spent 75 years providing lifesaving, prehospital emergency care to the citizens of Waynesboro and the surrounding areas.

The anniversary celebration was proudly sponsored by the WFAC Auxiliary and co-sponsored by the WFAC Board of Directors. Steven Ward, Executive Director of WFAC, served as Master of Ceremonies for the celebration.

The celebration brought together current and former members, city officials, public safety leaders, and community supporters to reflect on WFAC's history and recognize the people who have made its success possible. We were honored to receive a proclamation from the City of Waynesboro recognizing WFAC's decades of service, community impact, and commitment to public safety.

Guests also heard inspiring stories from longtime members who shared memories spanning generations of service. Their reflections highlighted the values that have defined WFAC for 75 years—dedication, teamwork, leadership, and a commitment to helping others.

As WFAC Vice Chairman Ashley Cook shared, "WFAC taught me responsibility, teamwork, and what it truly means to serve others." Those lessons continue to shape the lives of members today, just as they have for generations.

Most importantly, this celebration was an opportunity to thank every volunteer, auxiliary member, career staff member, family member, and supporter who has contributed to WFAC's legacy. Your dedication has strengthened our community and helped save countless lives.

This was more than a celebration of our history—it was a celebration of the purpose that continues to guide us forward.

🎉 Congratulations to the Waynesboro First Aid Crew on 75 years of service, excellence, and answering the call. Here's to the next chapter of serving our community! 🚑❤️

It’s that time of year!!!!! Every summer WFAC hosts annual skills days for local providers to come and train. WFAC Captains put together several, real life, high acuity scenarios for providers to ensure these calls receive the best quality care. Thank you to Dooms Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. for their participation with us! We look forward to finishing out the next two days next week.

Please join WFAC in congratulating a professional healthcare provider and “nurse legend”- Jim Miller, RN, CFRN, BSN, NR-P, Flight Nurse, and AirCare 5 Base Supervisor of PHI Air Medical who has served the Shenandoah Valley as a quality nurse, paramedic, and educator for many years. Jim is a true professional who’s shown by example that excellence is something to aim for every day. He has shown what the true meaning of dedication, professionalism, and loyalty is by his strong commitment given toward caring for others. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with so many EMS providers! Congratulations Jim and best wishes on your well deserved retirement! 🎉👨🏻‍⚕️⚕️🚁🚨

Dear Friends,

After 21 unforgettable years as a flight nurse at AirCare 5, I’m retiring today. It’s hard to put into words what this journey has meant to me. To my coworkers and teammates: thank you for being my second family. This profession demands skill, courage, and heart—but it is the teams we build and the lives we touch that make it truly meaningful. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the very best; and I am endlessly grateful for every lesson, every challenge, and every moment shared. We’ve shared challenges, victories, long nights, and moments that tested and strengthened us all. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to stand beside. To everyone I’ve met along the way; patients, partners, and colleagues thank you for allowing me to be part of your stories. You’ve taught me resilience, compassion, and the true meaning of service. I leave this career incredibly grateful and humbled. I will miss the work, but most of all, I’ll miss the people. Take care of each other and keep doing the amazing work that makes such a difference every day.

Sincerely,

Jim
