As we celebrate National EMS Week (May 18-24, 2009) it is a great occasion, once again, to offer our sincere thanks and appreciation to all our Cote Saint-Luc Emergency Medical Services volunteers, our Public Security Officer-medics and our EMS coordinator, Melaine Selby and director, Stephane Kallos, for making Cote Saint-Luc EMS one of the best first responder services anywhere.
YOU folks each deserve so much credit for doing amazing work throughout the year. From the extraordinary calls such as reviving the cardiac arrest victim and pulling a psychiatric unstable patient from the edge of a balcony, to the routine weak and dizzy and difficulty breathing of the 85 year old, you do your work with care and compassion and ask for nothing in return.
Our residents admire your readiness to answer their call. Our patients are grateful for your skill and rapid response.
On behalf of the civic administration, members of city council and all 30,500 residents of Cote Saint-Luc, many, many thanks to you all. Have a terrific National EMS Week and see you next Sunday (May 24) at Emergency Services Day.
