It is with profound sadness that UMC EMS announces the loss of one of our own, Daniel Le. Daniel was not only a dedicated member of our team, but also a cherished friend. We were all privileged to work alongside him. His commitment to service, his compassion for others, and his unwavering professionalism left an impact that will never be forgotten.

We extend our deepest condolences to Daniel’s family, friends, and all who are grieving this tremendous loss. As we honor his memory, we remain grateful for the time we shared and the countless lives he touched.
