New Hanover Regional Medical Center was recently recognized as the top EMS system in the country.
The recognition was reported by the EMS National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) and EMSWorld Magazine.
NHRMC’s EMS and Critical Care Transport teams earned the 2016 Dick Ferneau Career Service of the Year award, which will be presented at the association’s annual conference in October.
The medical center’s EMS and critical care transport services, AitLink and VitaLink, were recognized for their “innovative and advanced approach to delivering care,” according to a New Hanover Regional news release.
