🚑 Moments That Matter. Care That Saves Lives. 💙

A moment of recognition for caregivers who rise to the occasion at a moment’s notice. The Pinellas County Osteopathic Medical Society (PCOMS) invited Sunstar Paramedics—alongside our EMS partners, St. Petersburg Fire Rescue and Lealman Fire Rescue—for two special calls of note.

👏 Paramedic Alyssa Forrester was recognized for her exceptional attention to detail on a call that began as an altered mental status and ultimately led to the identification of a traumatic skull fracture. Her critical thinking and persistence ensured the patient received both immediate and definitive care, resulting in a positive outcome.

❤️ Paramedic James Strobel and EMT Joel Oviedo were recognized for their swift action and professionalism during a cardiac arrest. Working seamlessly with our EMS partners, their fast and efficient care helped revive the patient—truly giving them another lease on life.

Sunstar Paramedics is incredibly proud of our frontline professionals and grateful to PCOMS for recognizing the consistent dedication, skill, and compassion our crews bring to every call. 🚑💪

December CAREPLUS Recognition 💙

Today, we honor an incredible team effort that truly reflects the heart of Sunstar EMS.

A huge thank-you to:
PM Stephanie Chaiser, EMT John Ratliff, PM Anastacya Carey, EMT Noah Ngimbi, FOS Alexandra Muhsltadt, and FOS Michelle Wright.

These crews responded to an extremely difficult call involving a young expectant mother experiencing serious complications. While still on the phone, she delivered at just 22 weeks gestation, and a second Sunstar unit (SS502/SS504) was quickly added to assist. Together, they ensured seamless care for both the baby and a smooth, safe transport for the mother.

Given the patient’s history, this was an especially emotional and challenging call, but every team member showed professionalism, compassion, and grace throughout. Largo Fire Department even took the time to commend the crews for their outstanding conduct.

We don’t get to choose the calls we run, but moments like this show exactly who we are. This team demonstrated the heart, skill, and teamwork that define Sunstar EMS. Well done, everyone. 💙🚑

Yesterday, Sunstar Paramedics employees were recognized by HCA St. Petersburg for their professionalism, compassion, and exceptional patient care. 👏

Paramedic James Strobel and EMT Joel Oviedo were acknowledged for their prompt response and selflessness. After completing a prior call, they paused briefly to reset—only to immediately step in when a patient required an urgent transfer for emergency surgery. 🏥⚡ Their quick action and dedication truly made a difference.

Paramedic Joseph Butler was recognized for his consistent excellence in care, positive attitude, and professionalism. Joe continually ensures his patients receive the highest level of care possible and sets an outstanding example for those around him. 💪💙

While our teams deliver exceptional care every day and night, we are especially proud of Paramedic James Strobel, EMT Joel Oviedo (not pictured), and Paramedic Joseph Butler (not pictured) for exemplifying our values of attention to human needs and partnership.

Thank you to HCA St. Petersburg for recognizing our teams and for your continued partnership in caring for our shared community. 🤝🏽💙

✨ STAT call. Surprise delivery. Perfect outcome. ✨

What started as a routine critical care transport to a facility with OB services quickly turned into something unforgettable this morning. With lightning-fast progression, this sweet mom delivered her baby in the parking lot—right in the back of our critical care truck.

RN Lorena, EMT Darlene, and PMD C’ara rose to the moment with calm, skill, and teamwork—safely delivering and thoroughly assessing both mom and baby. Together, they welcomed a perfect and healthy baby girl into the world.

Both mom and baby are doing great and soaking in those very first, magical moments together! We couldn’t be more proud of this crew and the incredible care they provide.

Sometimes plans change, but excellence never does.

Way to go, team!

🎉 This week, Sunstar Paramedics was honored by HCA Largo for a job exceptionally well done! 🚑

Paramedic Donald Staley, Paramedic Morgan Bishop, and EMT Adison Klamontree alongside our partners at Largo Fire Rescue 🚒 responded to a patient experiencing stroke-like symptoms.

Our crews promptly initiated Advanced Life Support care, activated the Stroke Alert protocol ⏱️, accurately documented the time of onset, and ensured a safe and efficient transport to HCA Largo 🏥. Thanks to the seamless teamwork between prehospital providers and hospital staff, the patient received emergent care for a large vessel occlusion and is expected to make an excellent recovery 🙌.

We were proud to be recognized with HCA Largo’s first-ever challenge coin. A true symbol of teamwork and collaboration across our EMS system. Thank you to HCA Largo for the recognition, and outstanding work to our Sunstar team and Largo Fire Rescue for their continued commitment to caring for our community ❤️👏.

A huge thank you to all the clinicians who attended from Sunstar Paramedics, Palm Harbor Fire Rescue, Clearwater Fire & Rescue, Pinellas Suncoast, and St. Petersburg Fire Rescue. Your dedication to advancing your practice and elevating patient care is what drives our EMS community forward.
