2007 Senate Joint Resolution 6
ENROLLED JOINT RESOLUTION
Relating to: the Professional Ambulance Association of Wisconsin.
Whereas, emergency medical personnel are often thrust into dangerous situations — situations that set their profession apart from most any other routine job; and
Whereas, it is a difficult, sometimes daunting time to be part of the public health and safety professions; and
Whereas, the Professional Ambulance Association of Wisconsin (PAAW) is a leading organization serving the needs of its members in the ambulance and medical transportation industry in Wisconsin; and
Whereas, PAAW and the American Ambulance Association are dedicated to excellence in the ambulance services industry and provide services to enable their members to effectively address the needs of the communities they serve; and
Whereas, PAAW and the American Ambulance Association advocate the highest quality patient care through ethical and sound business practices; and
Whereas, PAAW has great admiration and respect for those who dedicate their time and talents to the emergency care profession; and
Whereas, PAAW wishes to recognize the heroic and courageous work performed by emergency medical personnel every day; and
Whereas, PAAW and the American Ambulance Association now seek to honor those in Wisconsin who exemplify the best qualities in the ambulance profession with the second annual "Stars of Life" recognition program; and
Whereas, on February 8, 2007, 17 individuals will be honored as "Stars of Life" for demonstrating outstanding service to their profession through communication skills, customer service, and job performance in addition to exhibiting exceptional kindness and selflessness in performing their duties; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the members of the Wisconsin legislature congratulate PAAW on its "Stars of Life" program and their colleagues who will receive this award for their hard work and dedication to their jobs and patients and to their communities.
