From Sunday, May 19, through Saturday, May 25, 2019, Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) celebrated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week to honor EMS practitioners and the important work they do in our nation’s communities.
Prior to the week beginning, a banquet and award ceremony was hosted at Harts Hill Inn, located in Utica, New York, for the local Mohawk Valley EMS Community. Paul Davidson, MD, FACS, trauma surgeon at MVHS, received the Midstate Physician of Excellence Award during the banquet dinner. Additionally, Anthony Salce, education training coordinator of the Midstate Regional EMS Council, received the Stop the Bleed Award, and Stacey Walton, manager of the Emergency Department at the St. Elizabeth Campus, received the Quality/Process Improvement Award.
Alongside the blog post were two Facebook videos — both edited and directed by Lince — recognizing EMS staff during national EMS Week:
