Medstar

A woman, who was involved in a 3-car accident, called Medstar to express her gratitude for the care she received from Paramedic Kevin McAlpine and EMT Alex Jones. The woman had suffered a closed radial/ulna fracture in her right wrist and was in extreme pain. Her wrist was splinted before begin transported to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital.

She called to say how great their care was and that "they took such good care of me!"

Medstar donated an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to the Davison Odd Fellows last night. Northern Operations Manager, Jeremy Compau, made the presentation to Lodge member, Jeff Garrett, who made the application through the Shock and Save Initiative grant program. They were so excited, they installed the wall cabinet before Jeremy made the presentation!

This week, a patient reached out to express her gratitude for the crew that transported her home in St. Clair Shores. That crew was EMTs Daiyaan Bradshaw, Jalen Williams, and Amarea Smith.

This patient was so happy with her care she said: “Daiyaan was a true gentleman. He made sure I was comfortable and covered up at all times. He truly made me feel seen and comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Jalen was a true jokester. He was making tasteful humor to me, which made me laugh. I enjoyed the banter we had. Amarea was very polite and comforting.”

Great job on your professionalism and care for this patient. It made a positive impact on her!
