The Fanwood Rescue Squad is proud to name EMT Karolyn Buckridee the recipient of this year’s EMS excellence award at the Overlook Medical Center Dinner on May 24th at Berkeley Plaza, Berkeley Heights, NJ. Karolyn maintains a high standard of care that benefits not only our patients but all of us who serve with her. She is currently in medical school at the American University of Antigua and could not attend the dinner, but her mom Patty Buckridee, squad vice president, accepted for her. Congratulations to Karolyn and we hope you come home to visit soon!
