Last week was National EMS Week (May 17–23), and we kicked it off with a pizza-making event hosted by our very own volunteer and chef extraordinare, Sabatino of Sabatino’s Pizzeria at 513 Valley Street in Maplewood!

While we usually spend time together responding to emergencies, we rarely have the time to decompress from EMS as a team.

Last week we learned:

•That the thickness of dough:sauce:cheese ratio should be 1:1:1

•Know your toppings BEFORE you shape your dough

•Laughing with friends over pizza is sometimes the best medicine.
