Thompson Valley EMS

Some careers are measured in years. Others are measured in impact.

Yesterday, we had the honor of celebrating Battalion Chief Cheryl Feyen and her incredible 35 years of service to Thompson Valley EMS and the communities we serve.

For more than three decades, Cheryl has shown what it means to lead with compassion, professionalism, and unwavering dedication. She has cared for patients on their hardest days, mentored generations of providers, and helped shape the culture that defines our organization today...And, thankfully, she isn't stopping anytime soon! 🎉

There are not enough words to fully capture what 35 years of service represents. But we can say this with certainty, our agency and our community are better because of Cheryl.

Thank you, BC Feyen, for everything you have given and continue to give to this profession, our NoCo communities, and to all of us.💙🚑

🚑 May the 4th Be With You!💙

In our line of work, we don’t carry lightsabers… but we do carry lifesaving tools, quick thinking, and a whole lot of teamwork.

Whether it’s responding at lightspeed or staying calm in the middle of chaos, our crews are always ready to answer the call. Because when it matters most, your local EMS team is your real-life force.

✨ A few ways you can be a hero too:
• Learn CPR (our next class is tomorrow night - sign up here: https://tvems.com/education/
• Know the signs of stroke and cardiac arrest
• Trust your instincts and call 911 when something doesn’t feel right

Today, we celebrate the heroes in our community and the power of preparation.

May the 4th be with you… always. 🚑💙

Stroke doesn’t wait. And neither do we.

May is American Stroke Awareness Month.

Every minute during a stroke, nearly 2 million brain cells are lost. That’s why early recognition and immediate action matter more than anything else.

At Thompson Valley EMS, our paramedics are trained to identify stroke symptoms quickly and begin critical care the moment we arrive. But the most important first step starts with you.

Remember BE FAST:

Balance – sudden loss of coordination
Eyes – vision changes
Face – drooping on one side
Arms – weakness or numbness
Speech – slurred or difficult
Time – call 911 immediately

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait. Call 911. 🚑

Because when it comes to stroke, minutes matter and so do you.

Our incredible partners at Loveland Fire Rescue Authority put together this fabulous tribute video for our Loveland Emergency Communications Center in honor of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 2026.

If you’ve ever called 911 in the Loveland or Berthoud area, these incredible people are the voice of calm on the other end of the line. 🚑🚓🚒

911 Dispatchers are often forgotten heroes because they aren’t the ones arriving on scene with lights flashing and sirens roaring… but they are the life line for everyone who makes that 911 call in a time of crisis.❤️

Thank you, Loveland Emergency Communications Center for what you do each and every day for our NoCo community 🫶🏼

Thompson Valley EMS is so lucky to have the LECC at the Loveland Police Department supporting our crews out in the field as well! We just want to say Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and, THANK YOU LECC!❤️💙🚓🚑

This is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and we have an amazing team, Loveland.

Let us brag?

Recently, our Loveland Emergency Communications Center (LECC) earned reaccreditation as an Accredited Center of Excellence (ACE) in Emergency Medical Dispatching (EMD) through the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED).

Yes, a lot of acronyms. All for good reason.

Read on: 👇🏼

This distinction marks a significant achievement and reflects years of consistent excellence. LECC first earned accreditation in 2007 and undergoes a rigorous reaccreditation process every three years.

The IAED accreditation process includes completion of 20 Points of Accreditation, an extensive evaluation by industry experts, and a final review by IAED. Once awarded, accreditation remains valid for three years, with strict standards maintained throughout.

With nearly 6,000 Public Safety Communication Centers operating in the United States, few centers reach this level of recognition. Even fewer sustain it for nearly two decades.

Pride in our LECC and Communications Specialists runs deep. Their commitment, professionalism, and daily impact on public safety set the standard.

There are some thank yous that stick with you… and this one came with a pretty sweet bonus.💙❤

This morning we had the honor of reconnecting with a local Girl Scout troop and their family after our crews responded to a call involving one of their loved ones. Seeing them again under much better circumstances is what this job is all about.

To show their appreciation, the troop stopped by with an incredibly generous donation of Girl Scout cookies for the two paramedics who responded to that call. Safe to say, gratitude has never tasted this good.🍪

Now, we won’t name names… but let’s just say these two medics are currently holding significant bargaining power around the stations. Morale is high. Negotiations are ongoing.😎

In all seriousness, moments like this remind us why we do what we do. We are grateful for the trust our community places in us and for the opportunity to be there when it matters most.

Thank you to this amazing troop for your kindness, your generosity, and for brightening our day.🫶

It's all about - Teamwork!

This morning, a small wildfire west of Berthoud near Carter Lake brought multiple agencies together with one shared focus: Protecting our community.

Thompson Valley EMS deployed our Special Operations Team (SOT) medics to the scene, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our Northern Colorado partners in emergency management, fire, and law enforcement. These moments are exactly why we’ve invested in building and strengthening our SOT capabilities, so we are ready to respond wherever and however we’re needed.

Thanks to the quick, coordinated efforts of all agencies on scene, the fire was contained efficiently, and evacuation orders were lifted.

This is what teamwork looks like.
And when first responders work together, our communities are safer because of it.🚓🚑🚒

Thanks for the great work, Berthoud Fire Protection District, Larimer County Sheriff's Office, Loveland Fire Rescue Authority, and Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control 💙

On Tuesday, we had a few extra stars at TVEMS Headquarters ⭐

Larimer County Sheriff John Feyen stopped by to connect with our team and say hello to Chief Robinson (oh, and, more importantly, to see his lovely wife, Cheryl 😎). When leaders from across our first responder community come together, it’s more than just a visit, it’s a reflection of the strong partnerships that support the people we serve every day.🚓🚑

At Thompson Valley EMS, we’re proud to work alongside the Larimer County Sheriff's Office and our public safety partners across Northern Colorado. That collaboration means faster coordination, stronger response, and better outcomes for our community when it matters most. 🫶

Because when it comes to emergency response, teamwork isn’t optional; it’s essential!

🚨 (Kinda) BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

In an effort to improve response times and be the envy of ALL first response agencies everywhere, TVEMS is excited to introduce our newest rapid-response unit…

✨ The TVEMS Hoverboard Response Team ✨

That’s right. Why deal with traffic when you can glide past it? Our crews have been hard at work perfecting their balance, patient care skills, and, most importantly, not falling in front of bystanders... seriously, it's harder than it looks!

All jokes aside, while hoverboards may not be hitting the streets anytime soon, our commitment to fast, high-quality care is no joke.

Happy April Fools’ Day from your TVEMS crews! Image AI generated, but you probably already knew that 🙃
