Today we bid a fond farewell to Lt. Amy Chandler as she retires with more than 30 years at Delaware County.
In just a few hours she will officially be part of 4-Unit and will enjoy a well earned retirement.
We thank you! You’ve made an impact on many. And we will sincerely miss you here.
We want to wish a very happy #nationaldoctorsday to our duo of medical directors, Dr Panchal and Dr McAllister.
We thank you both for all you do for our department and community.
We had a great time at the Columbus Blue Jackets First Responder Night! Thank you for the invite!
Paramedics Goodknight and Stickrath, along with EMT Bebris taught hands only CPR, and spoke about EMS with the fans!
DCEMS would like to give a special shout out and thank you to Lewis Center resident Eloise Keating (pictured) and Westerville resident Gretchen Glasgow. They worked together to sew quilts and donated them to DCEMS as a comfort measure for our pediatric patients. We thank them for their very generous contribution - sometimes its the little things that make the biggest difference!
