(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Emergency Medical Service has been named Indiana’s Paramedic Provider of the Year. It’s the sixth time EMS has received the award since founded in 1974.
Assistant EMS Administrator Brian Beach said the award might be more appreciated this time because it’s the 50th anniversary for EMS.
“This year seems to be a little more special,” he said.
The county government provided service has ambulance bases in La Porte, Michigan City, Wanatah and Rolling Prairie.
EMS Administrator Eric Fenstermaker will be presented with the award Friday night during the Indiana Emergency Response Conference in Noblesville. He said it’s a huge honor for his crews and a testament to the exceptional work they do every day.
“We are busier than ever in the history of our service. They handle it in stride and continue to provide excellent care to our residents and visitors,” he said.
