Happy EMS Week from SEMS Administration

EMS week again is upon us once again, and although COVID has hampered our celebrations, we would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all you do. We know that all of you put in long hours and sleepless nights taking care of the needs of our community and meeting the Stratford EMS mission. We know you are dedicated, we know you care, and we also know that you don’t always get the recognition you deserve.

Today, We would like to take the opportunity to say “Thank you” to every member of the Stratford Emergency Medical Service, Stratford Volunteer EMS Association, Stratford EMS Explorer Post 4911, Stratford Public Safety Communications Center and Stratford Fire Department First Responders. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for your caring, your compassion and your devotion to patient care. Thank you for taking time away from your families to keep our citizens safe 24/7, 365 days a year. Thank you for risking your safety. Thank you for your bravery. Thank you for your commitment.

EMS week is an opportunity for the public to recognize what we do every day. It’s an opportunity for us to showcase our talents, to let the public know how to use us, when to use us and why to use us. It’s an opportunity for us to connect with our community and for them to connect with us. What we do is important. EMS is a necessary service that is vital to our community and the nation. EMD’s, EMR’s, EMTs and paramedics are the healthcare safety net for all of us. We are there for everyone when they need us, on their terms, doing what’s best for them. We come to citizens, meet the citizens as they are and give the citizens of Stratford the very best that we have to offer.

Especially during this unprecedented public health crisis, you have gone, and we know you will continue to go above and beyond to protect the citizens of Stratford.  We are always “Ready Today & Preparing for Tomorrow”

In closing, EMS week isn’t quite up to the task of thanking heroes. In reality, nothing is. Please know that no matter what happens, we know that you work hard and that you care. We give you our sincere appreciation and thanks.

Have a Happy National EMS Week!

Sincerely,

All of us at Stratford EMS Administration
