In recognition of their exemplary service, Emergency Medical Technicians Brendan Lovett, Luis Depena and Henry Cabrera, who work out of Emergency Medical Service Station 16 at Harlem Hospital, were awarded the Unit of the Month citation for November 2008.

The three EMTs, members of Local 2507, Uniformed EMTs and Paramedics of the NYC Fire Dept., were honored Jan. 22 at their station. At the ceremony, Chief of EMS John Peruggia presented individual certificates and citation ribbons to the three for their outstanding work.

Capt. Stephen Russo, a member of Uniformed EMS Officers Local 3621, received a unit citation to post in the station. “The key factors that earned the unit this award were their quick response time and excellent patient care,” said Russo, who recommended the EMTs for the award.

“We are extremely proud of our members who work diligently to save lives in the city each and every day of the year,” said Local 2507 President Patrick Bahnken. “All New Yorkers should be equally proud.”
