My husband called 911 on May 8, as I was having an acute GI Bleed. I am a retired RN of 40 years. The call was triaged quickly, the team arrived at our home within 10 mins. The 2 paramedics were professional, skilled, kind and dealt with the seriousness quickly. They reassured me and stayed with me until I was handed over and admitted to the ER .

Exemplary care by Hailey and Gabby on May 22 for my daughter, who has severe medical issues trauma. During her long PNES crisis, they expertly managed sensory triggers (radio noises), held her hand and used light humor to ease the episode. After, they wheeled her to our car in the parkade. So considerate and helpful.

After a car accident I was so grateful and still am that the paramedic was so adamant I go to the hospital. I ended up having a heart attack in the hospital later that day. Some people really are guardian angels

Huge thank you to the great paramedics who came to our apartment and transported my 89 year old husband to the Foothills Hospital. The two ladies stayed by his side until he was put into a room,. They were so pleasant, thoughtful and we couldn’t give them more cudos than anyone ever could. I wish I would have gotten their names. Thank you !

I did not catch their names as it was a very stressful situation. A big thanks to the three paramedics that responded to our call and assisted my mother. You made a very tragic situation manageable and provided amazing care and courtesy in a charged situation. It cant have been the easiest stop they made, so thank you

Massive gratitude to Jeff and his crew (forgot to ask their names) for making me feel better and taking to time to explain all options of care. Their kindness really made my experience a somewhat easy one. My anxiety didn’t escalate to full blown panic attack and I felt safe, cared for, and they also reassured my son who had to call 911.

I want to say a very big, sincere thank you to Alex C and Patty B who brought me to Rockyview hospital this morning. I'm a 75 year old severe arthritic living with throbbing, stabbing, excruciating pain. I barely stay standing for ten minutes due to the pressure on my lumbar spine. Moving around is difficult. I fall a lot. Painless ambulance ride.
