Today, we pause to remember the men and women who gave everything in service to our country.
At Massena Volunteer Emergency Unit, we know the meaning of answering the call when others need help most — and today we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice doing exactly that.
Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication will never be forgotten.
As you spend time with family and friends this Memorial Day, please take a moment to remember the true meaning of the day and those who never made it home. ❤️🤍💙

As EMS Week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to recognize what this week is truly about — the people behind the uniforms.

EMS is more than ambulances and emergency calls. It’s long nights, missed holidays, interrupted family dinners, difficult scenes, and continuing to show up for complete strangers on some of their worst days. It’s sacrifice, compassion, strength, and service — even when life outside the job is heavy too.

This week also reminds us that EMS affects entire families. The spouses, children, parents, and loved ones who support those in this field quietly carry part of this job with us every day.

To every EMT, paramedic, dispatcher, paid staff member, volunteer, healthcare partner, and supporter — thank you. What you do matters more than words can fully explain.

We would also like to sincerely thank the businesses and organizations who helped support MVEU during EMS Week:
• Massena Walmart
• Massena Price Chopper
• Hardys Kitchen & Bake Co.
• The Bakery
• Massena Tim Hortons
• BJs
• Italian Affair
• Everyone who donated during Loot in the Boot
-Massena Hospital ER
-E5

A special thank you as well to:
• Massena Public Library for inviting us to Story Time and allowing us to show the kids our ambulance
• Massena High School for welcoming us to set up a recruitment table
• Massena Moose Lodge and Massena Little League for the generous donation of chicken dinners

This job cannot be done alone, and the support from our community never goes unnoticed.

From all of us at MVEU — thank you for supporting EMS and the people behind it.

Happy EMS Week.

Happy National Nurses Week to all the incredible nurses in our community and beyond! 💙🩺

From the emergency room to the ambulance, doctor’s offices to long-term care facilities, nurses are the calm in the chaos, the comfort in difficult moments, and the backbone of patient care every single day.

At Massena Volunteer Emergency Unit, we are proud to work alongside so many dedicated nurses who continue to go above and beyond for our patients and our community.

Your compassion, strength, knowledge, and endless dedication never go unnoticed.

Thank you for the long shifts, the late nights, the sacrifices, and the care you provide when people need it most.

Please join us in thanking all nurses this week — especially our very own members who serve both in EMS and nursing roles! 🚑❤️🏥

🎉🚑 Happy Birthday, Cynthia LaBrake !! 🚑🎉

Today we’re celebrating one of our amazing regular members — Cynthia! Not only is she a dedicated EMT, but she’s also an RN, AND she’s continuing her education while balancing work and volunteering. Talk about commitment! 💪📚❤️
Your passion for helping others and your drive to keep growing never go unnoticed. Our community is so lucky to have you showing up day after day making a difference.

💡 Fun Fact: Volunteer EMS providers across the country make up a HUGE part of emergency response teams — many communities rely heavily on volunteers to ensure help is always just a call away. That means people like Cynthia are truly lifesaving heroes in more ways than one!

We hope your day is filled with appreciation, laughter, and maybe a little time to relax (if that’s even possible! 😉)

Happy Birthday, Cynthia! 🎂🎈

Happy Belated Birthday, Chuck Miner ! 🎉🚑

We want to give a big shoutout to our Board Chair and lifetime member of MVEU — thank you for your years of dedication, leadership, and the countless hours you’ve given to serving our community. Your commitment does not go unnoticed, and we’re lucky to have you as part of the team!

🚨 Fun fact about being a volunteer:
Did you know volunteers like Chuck are the backbone of emergency services? Across the country, the majority of EMS responders are volunteers — giving their time, skills, and heart without expecting anything in return. That’s real dedication.

Here’s to many more years of making a difference — and hopefully we didn’t miss the cake entirely!
