“Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) deliver essential care to individuals in need, and their skills save lives everyday said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “As their roles and responsibilities continue to grow and evolve, EMTs consistently rise to meet every challenge. On behalf of the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners, I extend our sincere gratitude to MedStar personnel and all volunteer EMTs for their steadfast commitment to helping other during times of crisis.”

The certificate of recognition was presented by members of MedStar by Commissioner Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, on behalf of the Board.

“Since its launch in 2023, MedStar has handled thousands of calls for service and transported thousands of patients to local hospitals with outstanding response times and a team of amazing EMTs and dozens of ambulances,” said Commissioner Kiley. “I would like to express my appreciation to all Emergency Medical personnel and volunteer EMTs throughout the County for their tireless work, professionalism, and ongoing commitment to safeguarding our communities.”
