We at Mercy Ambulance extend our deepest condolences to our brothers and sisters at REACH Air Medical Services following the tragic loss of Suzie Smith, RN.

Suzie dedicated nearly 50 years of her life to caring for others, 21 of those years as part of the REACH Air Medical team. Her compassion, professionalism, and commitment to her patients and colleagues left an incredible impact on the EMS and healthcare communities alike.

Suzie succumbed to her injuries following the recent helicopter crash on Interstate 50 in Sacramento, CA. Her loss is profoundly felt across all of emergency services, and her legacy of service will never be forgotten.

Our hearts are with Suzie’s family, friends, and the entire REACH Air Medical family during this heartbreaking time. 💙🚑🚁

🌍🚑 International Paramedic Day – July 8th 🚑🌍

Today we proudly recognize International Paramedic Day, a day dedicated to honoring the incredible dedication, skill, and compassion of paramedics, EMT's and first responders across the globe.

Here at Mercy Ambulance, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our amazing Paramedics and EMTs who serve the tight-knit community of Mariposa with their commitment. Whether it’s in the middle of the night, during wildfires, in remote backcountry settings, or right here in town—they proudly stand ready, 24/7, to answer the call.

This day not only honors those who provide lifesaving care, but also helps raise awareness about the diverse environments paramedics work in—ambulances, helicopters, tactical operations, disaster zones, and more.

To all our frontline heroes: thank you for being the calm in the chaos, the steady hands in crisis, and the heart of emergency medical care.

🚨 PSA for Parents of Teens: Be Aware of High-Caffeine Products 🚨

Parents, please be cautious with products like pre-workout gummies that your teens may encounter.

Just two little gummies can contain 400mg of caffeine—the maximum recommended daily dose for a healthy adult. If your teen takes more than the suggested amount or combines them with energy drinks, it could lead to dangerous health effects, including lethal cardiac arrhythmias.

Caffeine overdoses are no joke and can happen quickly, especially in younger, smaller bodies. Talk to your teens about the risks of overusing caffeine and the importance of following recommended serving sizes.

Let’s keep our kids safe! 💙
