Meet us Monday's

This morning, we would like to introduce you to Robert Morehouse. Robert is an EMT and one of our most active members helping to provide 911 and backup coverage several days a week every week.

Robert is a former Army Combat Medic (68W) with six years of emergency medical experience spanning military and civilian EMS, currently expanding his skill set through his college studies in computer science at Southern New Hampshire University. He moved back up here with his wife to be closer to family and has been with us for 2 years.

Robert brings an immense amount of compassion and clinical experience to the service and we are greatful for his contributions. Join us in thanking Robert for everything he does for our communities.

What started as chest pain at Walmart in Gorham a few weeks ago rapidly evolved into a life threatening cardiac emergency for a local area resident.

In this case all the elements of the medical system worked hand in hand to ensure the patient reached definitive care.

A Walmart pharmacist administered live saving nitro, a Gorham NH Fire & EMS ambulance happened to be on scene at the time of the incident and administered prompt care and transport to AVH, and a Milan & Dummer EMS Advanced Life Support unit staffed by two Advanced EMTs and accompanied by an AVH ER nurse ultimately transported the patient emergently to Concord Hospitals Cath lab.

We wish to thank the patient for their kind words of support and all of the partners in the cardiac chain of survival for this patient.

The year is certainly off to a busy start.

Meet us Mondays - Every Monday we're taking the time to introduce you to a member of the Milan & Dummer EMS family, so you can learn who serves our community.

Today we would like to introduce you to Assistant Chief Roger Boissonneau.

Roger is one of the longest serving members of our department with 8+ years of continuous service.

Roger comes from a family of healthcare and EMS providers and started as a Fire and EMS explorer with the Gorham Fire Department where he currently works full time.

Roger performs a multitude of roles here at M&D including:

1. Field Training Officer
2. Duty Officer
3. Quality Assurance
4. Vehicle / Fleet Maintenance

and so much more that doesn't even fit on the list.

In his spare time, Roger enjoys spending time with his son Theo (we'll let you decide who is who in the photo). Roger also has a passion for trains.

Join us in thanking Assistant Chief Boissonneau for everything he does for the agency and our communities.

Ambulance two is standing by today at the Nansen Ski Jump for an event. Thank you to our duty crew for braving the cold to support the jumpers, ensuring everyone stays safe.

We talk a lot about the numbers here at Milan & Dummer EMS, but we don't really talk about the people behind those numbers.

In our most recently pay period, 15 members out of 27 were active on calls or scheduled on shift. That isn't an outlier, that is routine, with some pay weeks crossing 18 active members. That is a far cry from a few years ago when just low single digits were the norm.

Our members come from all over, with some joining us from Wentworth, Lakes Region, Whitefield, Berlin, Milan, Gorham, Stark and more.

Our members are what let us serve our communities and be ready to help on someone's worst day, and we couldn't do it without them.

Starting in February we'll begin our member spotlight series, showcasing a new member each week, so our community can meet the folks that are the lifeblood of the organization.

Its been a busy week for Milan & Dummer EMS with 14 calls in the last 14 days.

Our calls broke down as follows:
911 Calls - 6
Basic Life Support Hospital to Hospital Transfers - 1
Advanced Life Support Hospital to Hospital Transfers - 6
Critical Care Hospital to Hospital Transfers - 1

This brings our total calls for the month to 21 with several days left in the month.

It's been a busy 16 hours for Milan & Dummer EMS with our crews on their third back to back run.

Starting early this morning when the second ambulance crew emergently transported a patient to the cath lab.

Shortly thereafter, a fresh crew performed an emergent critical care run out of town.

Now, that same crew is making another run out of town to bring a patient to a specialist hospital for definitive care.

Our crews have performed almost 15 of these long distance transfers this month alone.

We have an update to our newly trained and licensed provider count.

We are up to:

3 EMRs
3 AEMTs

Thanks to the influx of newly trained staff, we are now staffing a second ambulance roughly 70% of the time in addition to our primary 911 ambulance.

Having the second ambulance staffed allows our agency to transport critically ill and injured patients to definitive care at major trauma centers 2+ hours outside our local coverage area.

This very situation took place almost 5 times in the last week alone.

A big thank you to our newly licensed Emergency Medical Responders who have already helped to cover numerous 911 shifts in the last two weeks and this week enabled several long distance critical care transfers.

Our newly licensed providers have already had such a significant impact and more students continue to register for their national licensing exams.

We had a total of:

7 EMR Students
1 EMT Student
5 AEMT Students

Of those

2 EMRs have their licenses
3 AEMTs have their licenses

We couldn't be more proud of what our new and existing members have accomplished and can't wait to hold our next classes in the Spring.

To get on the list for our next EMR class and become a licensed EMS provider, please email a resume and letter of interest to admin@mdamb.com

We would like to recognize the great work of our new members who recently passed their national registry of EMTs EMR exams and are now NH licensed EMRs, as well as two of our existing members who recently passed their Advanced EMT exams as well.

Great work everyone. This is the culmination of months of hard work.

We have a number of members who are currently studying for their national exams, and are testing soon for their EMR, EMT or Advanced EMT licenses.

Great work everyone.

Today we recognize the 21+ responders of Milan & Dummer EMS along with our 6 new members currently training to serve their community.

Our members spend countless hours away from their loved ones to answer the call for those in need.

This year has been one of transformation for our members and our communities. Our call volume has increased 4X over where it was just a few years ago.

With that, we added a second ambulance back in April to help cover the additional volume. Now we need the community's help. With such drastic increases in call volume, we are looking for individuals within the community who are interested in becoming emergency medical responders. We plan to host a class fully paid for by the agency in the Spring for those who would like to get involved and make a difference.
