NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. (November 28, 2018) — Mobile Life Support Services, the largest emergency medical provider in the Hudson Valley, was recently recognized for its contributions to the EMS community at the annual EMS Connections Conference hosted by Dutchess County Community College. Five of the company’s paramedics were also recognized for their continued efforts in educating and training EMS professionals in both the classroom setting and in the field.
The full-day event provides education for members of the EMS community, including a series of courses through which students can receive Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits. This year’s theme was “Stronger Together.” At the conference, faculty from Dutchess County Community College and event sponsor MidHudson Regional Hospital recognized individuals and companies that have demonstrated such commitment to strengthening the local community.
Mobile Life continues its quest to unify their brothers and sisters in emergency services by keeping them educated and up to date on the newest NYS, regional, and local protocols and treatment modalities. Whether demonstrated through the company’s in-house educational department, which offers regular courses and classes to employees, local healthcare providers, and to the public, or through support of programs like the Connections Conference, Mobile Life believes that, as a community and an industry, they truly are “Stronger Together.”
Mobile Life was recognized for its longstanding support of the College’s annual conference. Each year, the company sponsors the event and staffs its booth with Mobile Life employees to provide information and answer education and career-related questions for students and professionals interested in emergency medical services.
“I am so proud of our extraordinary field staff for their unwavering passion and dedication to their patients and fellow providers,” said Mobile Life President and CEO Scott Woebse. “It’s an honor to be recognized and a privilege to support our industry through education.”
This year, Quill Exum, a Mobile Life Paramedic, conducted a three-hour lecture on EMT-B and Advanced Care as well as a workshop on EKG interpretations. He was honored for his commitment to education with EMS students at both the EMS Connections Conference and in the field.
Additional Mobile Life staff, including Janice Romanelli, Stephen Peluse, Gary Mills and Marcello Cutonilli, were honored for the countless hours they have invested in training EMS students and bridging the gap between education and field experience.
