GEORGETOWN, DE – Sussex County paramedics offer the best emergency medical care money can buy, and a national group is awarding the County’s EMS division with top honors. The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians recently announced that Sussex County Emergency Medical Services is the 2011 winner of the Dick Ferneau Paid EMS Service of the Year award, to be presented at the end of August in Las Vegas.
The award is the most significant national recognition for Sussex County EMS in its 20-year history, and adds to a long list of other achievements and accolades earned by the organization. Earlier this year, a competition team from Sussex County EMS won a gold medal during the 2011 Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS) Games in Baltimore.
Other previous honors for the organization include JEMS gold medal performances in 2005, as well as silver medals in 2006, 2009 and 2010. Sussex County EMS also placed third during the Magen David Adom (MDA) 2008 Olympics, an international EMS competition held in the Dead Sea region of Israel.
EMS Director Robert Stuart said the latest honor is a reflection of the professionalism and high-standards practiced every day by the agency and its 92 medics.

You will never see anything like this being awarded to the Paramedics of the Salisbury Fire Department. Most of them are just wannabe's from the bottom of the Barrel. As long as paramedics fall under a fire chief with no experience you will never have quality EMS. Jeff Simpson is not even qualified to drive an ambulance.
