What a weekend for Monroe EMS!

We had the privilege of covering not one, not two, but THREE community events this weekend — the Volunteer Fair at the Monroe Public Library, the Polar Plunge at Great Hollow Lake, and the Color Guard MAC Championships.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, learn more about what we do, and show us some love. And a special shoutout out to whoever gave one of our crew members a few extra accessories at the colorguard championship!

Monroe, you make this work so rewarding. We are proud to serve this community and grateful for every opportunity to be there for you — in the big and small moments.

Thank you for having us. We’ll see you out there. 💙

🐾 A huge thank you to Dr. Harley from Central Hospital in Veterinary Medicine and Cathy from Resources in Search and Rescue for coming out and leading an incredible K9 First Aid CME for our crew! We learned so much — and let’s be honest, the best part was having some very good dogs in the room. We’re so grateful for the time, knowledge, and four-legged demonstrations. See you next time! 🚑❤️ centralpetvetCentral Hospital for Veterinary Medicine rsark9s

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Deputy Chief Ryan!

Hometown: Monroe

Years with Monroe EMS: 10

Positions Held: Fundraising Chair, Membership Retention, Captain, Deputy Chief (current)

Why I Volunteer: I’m proud to serve the community I grew up in. Monroe EMS feels like family, and I value the teamwork and mentorship that help strengthen our department’s future.

Outside of EMS: I work for Yale New Haven Health. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and fishing on my days off.

Memorable Call: On a trauma call involving severe bleeding, the patient’s spouse—trained in Stop the Bleed—controlled the bleeding before we arrived. It was a powerful reminder of how community education like CPR and Stop the Bleed truly saves lives.

We hope everyone is staying safe and warm. As you shovel out, please take your time — snow removal can be more strenuous than it looks.

Since the storm began, Monroe EMS crews have responded to 7 calls in challenging conditions. We’re incredibly proud of our members for always being there for our community.

A special thank you to Bridgeport Hospital for sending dinner yesterday — we truly appreciate your support! Stay safe, Monroe.

Our Story

Established in 1977, MVEMS is a volunteer, state certified Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance service which serves Monroe's community of around 20,000 people and responds to approximately 1,500 medical emergencies each year. The MVEMS membership is comprised of a majority of Connecticut and National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certified EMTs. The remaining members are Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs), trained in BLS CPR and advanced first aid assist to assist their EMT partners.

In addition to its volunteers, MVEMS contracts a paramedic from Valley Emergency Medical Services stationed at EMS Headquarters 24/7 ready to respond to life-threatening medical emergencies. MVEMS currently provides emergency care for the Town of Monroe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, throughout the entire calendar year. Members annually volunteer more than 20,000 hours of community service.

In addition to providing the town's emergency medical service, MVEMS sponsors various training opportunities for the town. Every year MVEMS conducts an EMT-Basic class which allows members of the community, surrounding towns, and the town Firemen, to become NREMT and Connecticut certified EMT's. MVEMS also provides a series of courses to the public including AHA CPR, Stop the Bleed, and First Aid to enhance community medical education.
