In December, AHN and Marvel Comics teamed up to to showcase western Pennsylvania nurses in comic book form.
Now, they're partnering once again to spotlight Emergency Medical Service providers.
"The Vitals: True EMS Stories" features tales of EMS workers throughout the western PA region amid the COVID-19 pandemic, set in winter 2020.
“EMS providers are truly the unsung heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Robert Twaddle, Vice President, Prehospital Care Services, AHN. “With demand for their services at unprecedented heights, and facing exposure to a highly contagious and dangerous virus, they never faltered in delivering outstanding face-to-face care in patients’ homes and in community settings and accident scenes. I am honored to work with these brave and selfless individuals every day.
“We are thrilled to see our EMS providers portrayed as the heroes they truly are, and we hope seeing “The Vitals: True EMS Stories” gives them a moment of pride at the remarkable work they have done over the past year,” Twaddle said.
“Just like in Marvel comic books, we see each of these stories as a chance to experience the heart and drive behind the heroes working tirelessly to save lives,” said Dan Buckley, President of Marvel Entertainment. “After the incredible reaction we saw from our first comic book with AHN and Doner, we knew these stories were truly special. We are honored to help AHN tell more of these stories, which now give us another glimpse into the world of healthcare heroes saving millions of lives every day.”
