(May 25, 2023, St. John’s) – Paul Dinn, PC Official Opposition Shadow Minister for Health and Community Services and MHA for Topsail - Paradise, on behalf of the entire PC Caucus, is extending support and recognition to the Paramedics of Newfoundland and Labrador.

May 21st – 27th is Paramedic Services Week, with this year’s theme being: “Diversity in Paramedicine – The Patient. The Provider. The Profession.” The overall goal is to start a conversation that matters and awareness moving forward about diversity indefinitely; more specifically in the health system and paramedicine environment.

“We want to extend our tremendous gratitude and appreciation for the hardworking individuals that provide critical care to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. Paramedic’s go above and beyond every single day in this province, and our healthcare system could simply not function without their dedication to their profession,” said Dinn.

“Paramedicine is a difficult career. It takes hard work, dedication, and the desire to help those in a difficult time of need. The PC Official Opposition stand with the paramedics of our province and will continue to fight for better working conditions for those that do so much for so many.”
