Yesterday, July 27, 2018 BCEHS paramedics responded to 130 suspected overdose calls – the highest in 1 day, a number seen only once before in BC in April 2017. Thankfully all lives saved. Tell your families, tell your friends: Don’t Use Alone, and Call 911 if you suspect an OD.
#BCEHS takes #PRIDE in being an open, accepting and inclusive organization. Thanks @PerrinGrauer for sharing our story of inclusion. BC paramedics are proud to be the first in Canada with pride pins.
