Congratulations to Haley Chapko, who has been promoted to the role of Supervisor in our Northern Operations. Haley joined Medstar in 2017 as an EMT. Since then, she has obtained her Paramedic's license, became a Field Training Officer (FTO), FTO Coordinator and now, Supervisor.

She recommends Medstar because "it provides the opportunity to make a difference and to create a positive influence on communities we serve, you get to develop different types of skills for everyday life and in the healthcare field."

Haley was the recipient of the Stars of Life Award in 2023, for which she was nominated by her peers and she considers her best Medstar moment.

She believes that a good leader is one that you can trust, who has good interpersonal, communication, time management and problem-solving skills, is fair, flexible, professional and is calm under pressure. They know their weaknesses and are able to take constructive criticism.

Join us in congratulating Haley!

Medstar continues to award AEDs to schools, churches, non-profit and civic organizations. When a bystander uses an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) on a person in cardiac arrest, their likelihood of survival doubles. Medstar recognizes community AED placement as the most important component of increasing cardiac arrest survival throughout our emergency coverage area.

We are incredibly thankful for the members of the public and our Medstar team who came out to support our inaugural blood drive! Working alongside our partners at Chesterfield Township Parks & Recreation and Blood Center of Michigan, we set an ambitious goal of collecting 15 units of blood to support the Macomb County EMS Medical Control Authority Prehospital Whole Blood program. The blood collected in this initial drive will directly support hospitals throughout Detroit and Southeast Michigan, as well as patients in hemorrhagic shock who require whole blood in the EMS setting.

We are grateful and humbled to share that with the tremendous support of our community and the Medstar team, we collected 31 units of blood, including several double-red donations. We cannot thank you enough. Your generosity will benefit more than 90 patients in need of whole blood for critical EMS and surgical interventions across our service area.

Future blood drive dates and locations will be announced soon.

From the bottom of our EMS hearts—thank you! ❤️🚑🩸

Our Blood Drive is underway until 2PM at the Chesterfield Community Center. Give a pint...save a life.

The First Baptist Church of Eastpointe applied for, and were awarded, an AED through the Shock and Save Initiative. Paramedic Alex Stankiewicz made the presentation last Thursday, explained the basics of the device. Select members of the congregation will receive CPR training, along with a detailed overview of their AED.

Only 10% of people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survive. However, their survival chances double if a bystander uses an AED before first responders arrive.
