More than two dozen Chester Countians are alive today because the county\u2019s emergency services community intervened in their behalf during the past year.<\/p>\n

Twenty-three residents survived a near-death experience, and four got their start before their mothers arrived at the hospital, said county officials, who celebrated those accomplishments on Thursday, May 22, at the awards banquet for the Chester County Emergency Medical Services Council Inc., an annual event celebrated during National EMS Week.<\/p>\n

Held Thursday evening at the Red Clay Room in Kennett Square, the program honored a typically unheralded group of more than 5,000 \u2013 many of whom are volunteers \u2013 whose actions ranged from bringing people back from the dead to doubling as maternity wards.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Coatesville<\/a>

Coatesville Police Officers Claire Lang and Sylvester Earle are recognized for their life-saving efforts on Nov. 3. Officer David Marquette, who was unable to attend the ceremony, was also honored.<\/p><\/div>\n

The crowd of several hundred, dominated by emergency services providers, also included government officials and supporters. In addition to the awards honoring the life-saving skills of 91 first-responders, the program also singled out others for recognition, including two citizens that officials have been unable to contact since their heroics.<\/p>\n

Officials said Vlatko Hajdek and Mark Ray, who each received the Citizens Award even though they didn\u2019t attend the ceremony, were playing tennis at a club in East Whiteland Township on Nov. 25, 2013, when another player experienced cardiac arrest and dropped to the ground. The pair began CPR, enabling paramedics to take over and continue aid that subsequently led to the man\u2019s discharge from the hospital \u2013 a result that would not have occurred without the men\u2019s intervention.<\/p>\n

Earl Taylor, a staff member of the Washington Hose Company in Coatesville, received the Basic Life Support Provider of the Year award for his<\/p>\n

leadership, education and training contributions to emergency services. And another veteran first-responder in Malvern, Saveria \u201cSady\u201d Sardone, received the Advanced Life Support Provider Award, which recognizes an advanced life support provider or pre-hospital nurse who makes significant contributions in education, leadership and training in emergency services.<\/p>\n

\"Surrounded<\/a>

Surrounded by supporters, Scott Thornton (center) received the Nicholas H.S. Campbell Meritorious Service\/EMS Leadership Award.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Telecommunicator of the Year Award went to Bradford Berry, an active dispatcher whose myriad contributions in 2013 included assisting a husband, who called 9-1-1 because his wife had gone into labor. The Nicholas H.S. Campbell Meritorious Service Award, named to honor one of the first paramedics in the county who also served as president of the EMS Council for several years, was given to Scott Thornton, the EMS chief for the Washington Hose Company and \u201ca true leader.\u201d\u00a0 Campbell\u2019s friends and relatives assisted in bestowing the award.<\/p>\n

Tammy Johnson of Good Fellowship was honored as the EMS Educator of the Year, and Dr. Edward Dickinson received the Margaret Hoover Brigham Award, an honor that pays tribute to the longtime Birmingham Township resident who was founder and first president of the Chester County EMS Council.<\/p>\n

The Distinguished Service Award was presented to Southern Chester County EMS \u2013 Medic 94, an organization that was founded in 1983 and became an independent organization in 2001. It was applauded for its stellar service that has met the needs of the community for several decades.<\/p>\n

\"Members<\/a>

The Robert Thompson Memorial Award, an honor that goes to an elected official who makes contributions to improving EMS systems, was given to Chester County Commissioners Ryan Costello, Kathi Cozzone, and Terence Farrell for their work in improving communications and providing the Chester County Public Safety Training Center in South Coatesville. The award pays tribute to Thompson, a former state senator, county commissioner, and Chester County EMS Council board member.<\/p>\n
