EMS Memorial Page
While we all recognize the extreme dedication and commitment shown by our EMS crews during the Covid-19 crisis, there are some who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. We honor our fallen colleagues by founding a Memorial Wall on the REMSCO NYC website, allowing friends and loved ones to acknowledge EMS members who have given their lives in service to others.
If you know of someone who should be included, please submit a picture, along with the provider’s full name, level of certification, affiliation(s) and an obituary to [email protected], and their memorial will be posted on the website.
We know this current crisis may stretch further into the future than any of us would prefer, and we want to make sure we continue to express our appreciation.
Thank you and be safe.
