District 4 Report

Greetings to all,              

   Well another year has come and gone! I hope all your holidays went well. As we start off another year, as part of our new years resolution, let's make an
effort to bring in a new member. It would help both of us. They could help us to loose that weight we resolve to loose each year by eating part of our meals and
would help to strengthen our OAEMS organization by adding to our numbers.

    Middletown Regional Hospital opened the doors of the new hospital last month. A BIGGG thanks to all who participated in this transition. The patients were
moved from old to new, a major effort.
    

    I want to welcome all New Members to OAEMS. If there is anything I can help you with please let me know. I'll see you at the first timers meeting in Canton. I also want to welcome all New Paramedics and EMT's who graduated from the various schools around the State and joined the ranks this past year.

     A SPECIAL Congratulations to the First EMT Class held at Gasper Fire Department, who recently gained 6 new EMT's to the new and growing EMS system to their community.

    I can see from the pictures on our website that a good time was had by all who attended our TRAVEL & LEARN in Vegas. I tried to get some feed back, but all I get is "What happens in Vegas...Stays in Vegas", my guess is they had a great time. Our next TRAVEL & LEARN will be in the warmth of the Caribbean, Grand Cayman  (sting ray city is a must) ,Cozumel, Ocho Rios Jamaica aboard the Carnival Liberty. I was on a cruise in Oct and Nov and she was in port with us. It's a newer ship and I can't wait to board this one.
