Paramedic Services Week 2023
During Paramedic Services Week, our focus is on all the great work paramedics do to keep us and our communities safe and healthy.
At Medavie, we are proud to have passionate, dedicated professionals on our emergency and health services teams. Our highly trained paramedics are also members of our community care teams who follow our mobile integrated health model to ease emergency department visits, reduce hospital admissions and expand long-term care options by delivering education and in-home care to patients who need it most.
Learn more about the unique and challenging work environments our paramedics are part of and how they work each day to support communities across Canada.
“When the patients come to us, we do our assessments. Right from introducing ourselves to finding out what their allergies are and what their chief complaint is and then we spring into action as best as we can.”

“I asked my mom, ‘what do you think of me being a paramedic? She said I have the personality for it and told me to do it. So, I told her, that’s great because I start two weeks from now.”
