Muskoka Paramedic Union

Paramedics show up on your worst day. Every time. But the weight of this job doesn’t disappear when the call ends. Mental health matters for those on the front lines too. Support the people who never hesitate to support others. 💚 #MentalHealthAwareness #Paramedics #YouMatter

As paramedics, we see the impact of mental health challenges every day. Reducing stigma and increasing access to support helps people before a crisis happens. #BellLetsTalk

Today on #FirstRespondersDay we recognize every first responder across Ontario. Different roles. One mission. 🚑🚒🚓🚁

It’s Back!

More than a taxi ride to the hospital — Primary care paramedics can administer over 15 different types of medications and perform over ten different procedures/controlled medical acts. They can be recognized by the one stripe on their shoulder epaulettes. 🚑 #ParamedicServiceWeek

"Should our mayor and council members be calling for a meeting here similar to that in Bracebridge, where 'collaboration' ensures that both hospital campuses in Muskoka provide an equal level of acute care services? Are they doing enough to ensure that both North and South Muskoka are being treated fairly and equally in relation to state-of-the-art hospital care?" questions Hugh Mackenzie on Listen Up! this week. doppleronline.ca/huntsville/hos…
