“It gives me great pleasure to officially announce and to congratulate Ms. Shadae Francis in her appointment as Emergency Medical Technician Supervisor.

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) are some of the most valuable persons in our medical program delivery. Most recently, EMT’s have proven their value during their effort in the pandemic and continue to push through in an environment that is overworked and understaffed.

Ms. Francis has been and continues to be an asset to the Ministry of Health and we are confident in her ability to take the EMT Department to a new level for the enhancement of medical transport and emergency services.

We wish her well on her appointment and look forward to supporting her in her new role.

Congratulations Ms. Francis!”
