EMS Crew Recognition!

Pittsburgh EMS recently responded to two emergency calls involving babies who arrived ahead of schedule. In both instances, the crews delivered outstanding prehospital care. Both mothers and newborns arrived safely at the Emergency Department in stable condition.

This week, UPMC and the Pittsburgh Bureau of EMS recognized these nine individuals for their excellent care of a mother and newborn child in the prehospital setting.
