A pair of Prince George's County Firefighter/Medics will be recognized for extraordinary medical care
performed during childbirth.  The actions of one of these paramedics undoubtedly saved the life of an about-to-be-born infant.  The Firefighter/Medic crew will be recognized by the Fire/EMS Department as well as hospital staff at Prince George's Hospital Center.

The care provided by one particular paramedic will be highlighted as her story and performance during this incident goes beyond just delivering a patient to the hospital labor and delivery room.  Her story is remarkable and must be heard.


WHAT: Recognition of exemplary care by Paramedics

WHEN: Friday, April 26, 1:00 pm

WHERE: Prince George's Hospital Center - 4th Floor


The recognition will be in the Medical Staff Conference Room on the 4th Floor of the ACF Building.
