As National EMS Week 2026 comes to a close, we would first like to pause and recognize the heartbreaking and unexpected loss of retired EMT Jeff Lenker of Millersburg Area EMS and UPMC Community LifeTeam on May 21, 2026. Jeff dedicated years of service to EMS and to the communities he cared for. Our thoughts and deepest condolences remain with his family, friends, coworkers, and all those impacted by his loss.

This week served as a reminder of just how strong, connected, and supportive the EMS family truly is. Throughout the week, Susquehanna Township EMS was proud to celebrate our crews, our community, and the profession we love through several health and wellness-themed events:

• Monday 5/18 – Fundraiser at Nittany Scoops Ice Cream Shop• Tuesday 5/19 - Our first ever “Yoga and Yogurt” event for staff. • Wednesday 5/20 – STEMS partnered with the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank for a Community Blood Drive• Thursday 5/21 – Lunch provided by Mission BBQ• Friday 5/22 – Staff Appreciation Luncheon and Community Event at our station

We would also like to congratulate our 2026 award recipients:

🏆 EMT of the Year – Bruce Daniels
🏆 AEMT of the Year – Timothy Bryant
🏆 Paramedic of the Year – Angela Pinti
🏆 Jesse Floyd Legacy Award – David Malysz

🏆 EHSF 25 Years of Service Award - Holly Hodgson

A huge THANK YOU goes out to all of our donors, vendors, supporters, and community members who helped make this week possible. Your generosity and support mean more than words can express.

And finally — thank you to every EMT, AEMT, paramedic, dispatcher, nurse, firefighter, police officer, physician, and healthcare professional who continues to answer the call every single day. We are proud to serve alongside you.

Happy EMS Week 2026 from all of us at Susquehanna Township EMS. 🚑❤️🤍💙

❤️ February is National Heart Month❤️

Heart disease affects millions of Americans—but the good news is that prevention and early action matter.

Take time this month to:
❤️ Move your body
❤️ Eat smart
❤️ Check your blood pressure
❤️ Learn the warning signs

Chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, arm pain, or jaw pain aren't "walk it off" symptoms.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and call 911. We’re always ready to respond!
