Thank a Paramedic, Dispatcher or Call Taker

  • "Hello, a quick shout out to Steven and the advanced life support (ALS) team in Victoria who showed up to help get my neighbour to hospital last week. He took control of the situation and made her feel like someone was on her side, which was important at that time. I had to leave the ER before I could say thanks again."

    Jane
  • "Paramedics Anne and Chelsea transported my toddler from Delta to BC Children’s Hospital, and I wanted to thank and commend them for making a very stressful moment for my family a calm, friendly, and informative experience. Chelsea helped secure our car seat to make our daughter more comfortable. Anne was so kind to sit with us while we waited and was part of comforting her and talking with me which helped keep me calm. "

    Courtney
  • "Thanks to the dispatchers and paramedics for their quick service on the afternoon of June 7 in Pitt Meadows. My mom had a fall in her home and was bleeding from her head. I did not get the names of the two women who attended, but they did an excellent and thorough job of assessing her injuries. Their advice to stay out of a crowded ER where we could observe her at home was sage. We are grateful."

    Valerie
  • "Many thanks to Feather and her partner who attended to my wife on Saturday June 7 in Mill Bay. They were both professional, courteous, and very efficient. They transported her to hospital for evaluation. We appreciate how they carried themselves throughout the incident. Please pass our sincere thanks to them. Thank you."
