The Department would also like to take a minute and say thank you to the Fire Departments that respond alongside us, ensuring they have the extra hands to safely lift, move, and care for patients in their time of need. Their partnership makes all the difference.

And of course, thank you to the community for their continued support — their encouragement allows us to do what we do best: provide skilled, compassionate care when it matters most.
