At the beginning of last year, NEMS — along with several other first responders — donated our patches to a brave young girl in our community who is battling a rare birth defect called cloacal exstrophy. She used those patches to decorate her hospital room as she recovered from surgery, drawing strength from the support of her hometown heroes.
The other night, Newington EMS, Newington Police Department, and Newington Fire Department had the incredible privilege of escorting Hailey home from the hospital. 💙🚑🚓🚒
Welcome home, Hailey! Your strength inspires all of us, and we are so proud to stand beside you and your family every step of the way. Hope for Hailey
