Team Member Spotlight: Eric Miller

Please join us in congratulating Paramedic Eric Miller on being named Bi-County Ambulance’s November Employee of the Month! With an incredible 32 years in public safety, Eric’s journey started at Olivehurst Fire Department before bringing his talent and dedication to Bi-County in 2008.

A true professional, Eric holds:
California Paramedic License (upgraded in 2013)
Firefighter 1 & 2
Arson Investigator
CA State Fire Officer

Recently, Eric went above and beyond when he responded to a patient who was suffering a medical emergency during a dental procedure. He arrived on scene quickly, provided expert care, and took the time to calm the frightened family, making a terrifying moment manageable for everyone involved. That’s the kind of calm, compassionate excellence Eric brings to every call.

When he’s not caring for others, you can find Eric on the golf course or enjoying the peace and quiet of the mountains with family and friends.

Eric, thank you for your 17 years of service with Bi-County, your leadership, and for consistently showing what it means to be an outstanding paramedic and teammate. We’re proud to have you in the Bi-County family!

Drop a comment below to congratulate Eric!
