Fifteen members of Bruce County Paramedic Services were recognized at the start of the Bruce County Council meeting on Nov. 5 for their work on calls across the county.
The awards come from the Southwest Ontario Regional Base Hospital Program, which is administered through London Health Sciences Centre and provides medical oversight for paramedic services in the region, the county said in a news release.
- Prehospital Cardiac Save Award (paramedics who played a role in saving a life): Brittney Kealey, Derek Stephenson, Jesse Hall, Jim Ainslie, Mike Bohnert and Robert Wagner.
- Prehospital Newborn Delivery Award (helping deliver a baby before reaching hospital): Jesse Hall, Jim Ainslie, Jill Adams, Ryan Heipel, Ben Rees, Jennifer Stein and Lily Batte.
- Governor General's Emergency Medical Services Exemplary Service Medal: Tien Angus, Jason Angus, Marcia McGilveary and Muffy Davies.
- 2026 Medical Director's Commendation Award (critical decision-making in patient care): Brittney Kealey, Derek Stephenson, Mike Bohnert and Robert Wagner.
The county said Kealey, Stephenson, Bohnert and Wagner were honoured for their shared efforts on the same lifesaving call. All of the recipients are primary care paramedics.
"Every day, our paramedics answer the call with professionalism, compassion, and courage," Warden Luke Charbonneau said in the release.
