My name is Patty Helsingius and I am the Training Officer for Grand Isle Rescue, up here on the Champlain Islands. Grand Isle Rescue is a 501C3 organization. We are a group of primarily volunteers who have gone through various levels of Emergency Medicine Training (EMT, Advanced EMT, Vermont First Responder, etc.) We serve the towns of North Hero and Grand Isle. You may see our ambulance driving through Burlington at times to bring our patients to UVM Medical Center.
We are looking to recruit volunteers for our service. The work we do is challenging, exciting and extremely gratifying from a personal perspective. It can also be a terrific addition to any college resume. In the course of my EMS education I have run across several students who have worked with rescue services along side their studies.
Thanks very much,
Patty Helsingius
