Today, we announced the winners of our Most Valuable Provider awards for the second quarter of 2025.

The paramedic honor went to Capt. Derek Pinson, who was nominated for so many good reasons, including how he leads by example and that "he would never ask for anyone to do something that he himself is not willing to do. Derek treats every patient with the highest level of care."

The EMT of the quarter is Darrin Crosier, a previous winner of a quarterly honor in 2024 as well. His nomination commends him for lots of good things, too, including being consistent with his work and his communication with patients, and "he thinks and puts others above himself always!"

Please join us in congratulating our two winners on these much deserved honors! Great job!
