Community Spotlight: Cherie Gibson, RN – A Pillar of Care at Noyes Health
Livingston County EMS – We Care. For Everyone.
While not a member of Livingston County EMS, Cherie Gibson is an integral part of our community and a trusted partner in emergency care. Cherie has dedicated 25 years as an exceptional nurse in the Emergency Department at Noyes Health, wearing many hats including ED staff nurse, vascular access/PICC specialist, AHA instructor, nurse educator, and most recently, stroke coordinator.
Cherie is the familiar, compassionate face our EMS providers see on patient arrivals — a calming and competent presence that reassures everyone. As Stroke Coordinator, she has actively collaborated with EMS, attending training sessions and helping improve prehospital stroke care.
One unforgettable moment happened on October 30, 2024, when Cherie was at a local bowling alley and witnessed a 74-year-old man collapse in cardiopulmonary arrest. Without hesitation, she initiated expert CPR, performing effective compressions for five minutes until EMS arrived. Thanks to her quick action and dedication, the patient made a full recovery. Before we knew of her role in the save, Cherie humbly approached us to recognize EMS for the lifesaving efforts—making zero mention of the part she played. This speaks volumes about her character. She then worked with the bowling alley to install an AED, helping protect the community’s future.
Cherie is not only clinically excellent and professional but also a mentor and educator, supporting both EMS and nursing students alike. She is deeply respected and admired by all who know her.
We thank Cherie Gibson for her selfless service and unwavering commitment to saving lives in Livingston County.
