Iliana1414IlianaOn Christmas Day 2025, I was transferred from Tofino to Port Alberni due to a severe stomachache that began the day before. Rochelle and Jenny safely drove me so I could get a diagnosis. As a foreign worker facing a medical emergency far from family, their calm care meant everything. You’re both amazing.2025-12-29 4:24:54 AM
Anonymous1413AnonymousThank you to the emergency services team (fire and paramedics) who responded to an overdose outside at West 4th and Vine on December 26th. It was heartwarming to see the collaborative, prompt, kind and traumatic-informed care you provided the individual and their friend; you saw the humanity in them.2025-12-27 7:52:57 PM
Soleil1412SoleilOn behalf of my sister and mom, thank you to all the paramedics who came so quickly to get my late dad to hospital. My dad truly recognized paramedics as respected service providers who came to his aid at his most vulnerable moments and time of need. Dispatchers/call takers/firefighters/paramedics should know how much he appreciated you. We are forever grateful to you. 💜2025-12-25 4:38:23 PM
Virgilio1410VirgilioPlease thank paramedics Becky and Ashley for their outstanding care during my transfer back and forth from Surrey Memorial Hospital to Royal Columbian Hospital. Felt very safe seeing their very great effort and capability in their job actions and dealings with other health service personnel and making sure that I am informed of all happenings around me. Very knowledgeable with the health situation in relation to my sickness.2025-12-21 5:33:29 AM
Jason1408JasonMy father, who has dementia, developed a concerning bleed from his bladder and was taken to the Royal Jubilee Hospital by ambulance. We could not meet with him until later, but these two wonderful paramedics sat & talked with him and obviously knew he was scared. They wrote the nicest note to him, reassuring him that we were on our way and knew he was there. Jay and Mark (PCPs) - THANK YOU.2025-12-20 3:56:42 PM
Tracy1406TracyI would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to the paramedic who helped my mother in Vernon on December 16th and transported her to the Emergency Department at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. I did not catch his name, but he and his partner attended the ER multiple times during his shift yesterday and today. What stood out most was his kindness. 2025-12-18 5:04:21 AM
Kay & Johanna1405Kay & JohannaOur trip to RCH (including to and from my home) could have been very stressful except for Zack and Brianna's skill and empathy. Their realistic attitude made it kind of fun. They were patient and yet got the job done. Thank you, Zack and Brianna, for helping us through it all and for all you do.2025-12-17 11:19:32 PM
James1404JamesFirst and foremost I thank God for me being here to be thankful. I’ve received lifesaving trips in an ambulance on multiple occasions over the years. Thank you. To the paramedics who tended to me on those trips thank you. Not only did you save my life, you have changed it. In short, through my last ride I found sobriety. Thank you. 2025-12-16 8:42:13 PM
Abraham1403AbrahamI want to thank the paramedics who helped to save my life in the Ikea parking lot in September 2025. When they arrived a fellow staff member was doing CPR and they took over and used an AED on me as well. Their help along with others brought me back after being gone for 12 to 14 minutes. I am very grateful for what they did for me that day.2025-12-16 3:26:05 AM
