What does resilience really look like when you’ve lived the job from the front line to the front office? 🚑

Join us this Mental Health Awareness Month for a powerful and personal conversation, "Building Resilience: From the Front Line to the Front Office: A Paramedic’s Journey Through Mental Wellness and Leadership."

Date: Thursday, May 7, 2026
Time: 12PM – 1PM
https://mhanys.org/upcoming-events/

Executive Director of Greenport Rescue Squad Aidan O’Connor Jr. will share his firsthand experience navigating the toll of emergency response work, the moment he chose to seek help, and how that decision reshaped not only his well-being, but his leadership as well.

This is more than a webinar. This will be a conversation about changing the culture: where mental health is taken seriously, asking for help is expected, and supporting our teams is non-negotiable.

If you lead, serve, or support others, this conversation matters.

💚 Greenport Rescue Squad

We extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Paramedic John Riscavage. Johnny’s dedication, compassion, and service to his community will not be forgotten. He made a lasting impact on those he served and worked alongside. His sense of humor brought light to even the toughest days. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

In memory of Johnny “Love” Riscavage 💚

Johnny was a teammate, a friend, and a 30-year veteran of our organization, and a legend in our profession—someone who dedicated his life to helping others and left a lasting impact on everyone he met.

Over the past few weeks, we have witnessed an incredible outpouring of support from our peers and our community—something that truly reflects the life Johnny lived and the impact he had on so many.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who visited, donated, purchased shirts, shared stories, and kept Johnny and his family in their thoughts and prayers. Your kindness and compassion have meant more than words can express.

Johnny dedicated his life to helping others. The love and support shown in return is a powerful reflection of the legacy he leaves behind.

Thank you for standing with us, and for honoring Johnny in such a meaningful way. 💚
