NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. (January 15, 2019) — Mobile Life Support Services, the largest emergency medical service provider in the Hudson Valley, was publicly recognized, along with several other emergency agencies, for its staff’s administration of life-saving, emergency medical care.
Dan Dulin is the owner and operator of Par 5 Landscaping in New Windsor, N.Y. Dulin was trimming trees in the Town of Montgomery when he was electrocuted on October 9, 2018. Mobile Life Support Services paramedic, Beth Grass, was one of the EMS responders that arrived on the scene, providing immediate and critical medical interventions and transporting Dulin to Orange Regional Medical Center in Middletown, N.Y.
Having sustained serious injuries, Dulin was later air-lifted to the Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pa., where he spent more than two months recovering in the burn unit. Recently, he returned home after an additional three weeks of rehabilitation therapy at Helen Hayes Hospital in West Haverstraw, N.Y.
In a public letter, Mike and Cheryl Dulin, Dan’s parents, penned thanks to Mobile Life Support Services, as well as Town of Montgomery Police Department, Walden Ambulance Corps, Air Methods Corps, Orange Regional Medical Center and Lynn and Mariann Decerbo.
“We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the many individuals, first responders and medical teams whose quick response, emergency medical treatment and good decisions saved his life,” they wrote.
Mobile Life Support serves communities across the Hudson Valley, including Orange, Dutchess, Rockland, Ulster and Westchester counties. The company provides emergent and nonemergent ambulance transportation services to most of the 14 hospitals in its service region, including Orange Regional Medical Center, where Dulin was treated by doctors, nurses and staff at the hospital’s trauma center.
“I am thrilled to hear that Dan is finally home and recovering well, thanks to the joint efforts of several skilled and dedicated agencies, and I am humbled, on behalf of the company, by his family’s gratitude,” said Mobile Life CEO & President Scott Woebse. “I am especially proud of Mobile Life’s own, paramedic Beth Grass, who received a commendation for her exceptional work on this very difficult call.”
Mobile Life has a very robust training and education program which allows the staff and local EMS agencies to stay abreast on the most up-to-date treatment modalities and protocols. The foundation of rigorous training the staff receives is what prepares them for calls, such as Dan’s, where their expertise is quickly put into action.
