Over the last several months, Air Evac 10 has had the privilege of being invited to Madisonville Fire Department to provide several continuing education classes to their crews. 🚒🚁
Outreach education is something we take a lot of pride in—not only because it gives us the opportunity to share knowledge and sharpen skills together, but because of the relationships it builds along the way. Our crew members have expressed how valuable it is to spend time learning alongside the same first responders who are often handing over patient care to us in the field. Those relationships, that communication, and that teamwork ultimately help us all provide better care to the communities we serve.
Our nurses, Hayley and Bridget, took the lead on coordinating and providing these classes and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the crews at MFD along the way.
After wrapping up the classes, they wanted to go a little above and beyond to thank MFD for welcoming us in, participating in the education, and—most importantly—letting us hang out with them for a while. And what better way to say thank you to a bunch of firefighters than FOOD?! 🤣
Hayley decided if we were going to feed them, we might as well do it right! Over the last few days, she planned and prepared three different home-cooked meals—two lunches and a breakfast—so each of MFD’s three shifts got their own meal. Bridget jumped in to help get everything transported, set up, and served, and we were finally able to wrap up our little “thank you” today. ❤️
Apparently Hayley can plan, shop for, and cook enough food to feed an entire fire department…but remembering to take pictures of all that food is where we draw the line. 🙈🤣 So you’ll just have to take our word for it on some of the meals!
A huge THANK YOU to Madisonville Fire Department for the hospitality you’ve shown our crews over the last several months. We appreciate the opportunity to share some education, spend time together outside of patient handoffs, and strengthen the relationships between our teams.
We may wear different uniforms, but at the end of the day, we’re all working toward the same goal: taking care of our community and taking care of each other. ❤️🚒🚁
We look forward to many more opportunities to learn, work, and maybe even eat together in the future!
