I’m not the first person to note that when life gives you lemons thank God for the lifesaving Orcas EMT group. Suddenly I was faced with a life threatening illness and the amazing Orcas EMTs got me out of here and on a helicopter to St. Joseph’s in Bellingham. I am forever indebted to: Jennifer Corbin; Chad Kimple, Mik Preysz, Lindsay Schirmer, Ben Schmitz, and Dirk Swierczynski.

They are Orcas Island heroes, as are all the members of our wonderful EMT group.
