Dennis1621DennisMy thanks to the two paramedics who picked me up on Aug. 7. I didn't get the paramedic driver's name, but Jenny rode with me in the back. They were an excellent team - professional, efficient, with great people skills. At Nanaimo Hospital, I was quickly given liquid charcoal to consume, then taken to a room. They also had a great sense of humor. I wish them all the best. Thanks.2026-08-10 9:16:38 PMhttps://www.bcehs.ca/Lists/Thank a Paramedic/DispForm.aspx?ID=1621https://www.bcehs.ca
Brittany Pallett, RainCity Housing1620Brittany Pallett, RainCity HousingWe would like to recognize Adam and Aurum for their exemplary care during a recent client crisis. They were compassionate, gentle, curious rather than judgmental, trauma-informed, and validating. They collaborated exceptionally well with our clinical team and made a meaningful difference to our client. These two paramedics set an excellent standard of care. 2026-08-10 8:47:37 PMhttps://www.bcehs.ca/Lists/Thank a Paramedic/DispForm.aspx?ID=1620https://www.bcehs.ca

Carolyn1618CarolynThank you, paramedic Casey and team, (I forgot your name, I am sorry, stuntman from the Beachcombers!!) for your care in transporting my mother to hospital after her fall. I have never experienced such genuine concern and compassion. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 2026-08-08 4:28:10 AMhttps://www.bcehs.ca/Lists/Thank a Paramedic/DispForm.aspx?ID=1618https://www.bcehs.ca

Angela1616AngelaI would like to thank the 2 paramedics who came from Langley to assist me after a fall I took at Osprey Village in Pitt Meadows. They were very kind and soon concluded they were going to need help transfer me from the trail to the ambulance. They then called the Pitt Meadows fire department for assistance. I am very grateful for their help that day and for the ambulance services itself. 2026-08-04 7:46:53 PMhttps://www.bcehs.ca/Lists/Thank a Paramedic/DispForm.aspx?ID=1616https://www.bcehs.ca
Anonymous1614AnonymousI would like to thank two paramedics who came to my house in Oak Bay (Victoria) on May 20th around 7:30 pm. I called 911 as I was experiencing severe chest pains. The paramedics arrived and checked my vitals. I felt fine after the paramedics arrived but one of them convinced me to go to the ER. I am truly thankful he convinced me as I had heart bypass surgery on the 23rd of May. 2026-08-01 12:46:53 AMhttps://www.bcehs.ca/Lists/Thank a Paramedic/DispForm.aspx?ID=1614https://www.bcehs.ca
Thomas1613ThomasFernando and Chris: their life-saving intervention enabled my wife to receive urgent cardiac treatment at VGH. While she underwent critical procedures, Fernando found me in the ICU waiting room and reassured me, “The surgery was very successful. She is safe.” Their actions represent the highest standards of BC Emergency Health Services, combining medical expertise with extraordinary humanity.2026-07-30 7:52:50 PMhttps://www.bcehs.ca/Lists/Thank a Paramedic/DispForm.aspx?ID=1613https://www.bcehs.ca
