A tremendous honor for Plum EMS!

Brian Maloney of Plum EMS was recently recognized with the Cribs for Kids® National Infant Safe Sleep Initiative “Starfish” Award during the organization’s National Conference.

The Starfish Award recognizes individuals who make a meaningful difference in the lives of infants and families by advancing safe sleep, child safety, and injury prevention—one family, one education opportunity, and one baby at a time.

It was an incredible honor for Brian to receive this recognition, but the award represents something much more significant than one individual. It represents what Plum EMS strives to do every day: make a difference in the lives of the people Plum EMS serves, one family at a time.

From safe sleep education and car seat safety to injury prevention and community outreach, Plum EMS's goal is not simply to respond when something goes wrong, but to help prevent emergencies from happening in the first place.

Congratulations, Brian—and thank you to everyone who helps make this work possible!

Plum EMS had an absolute blast at this year’s Plum Borough Fall Fest! It was a beautiful day, an incredible crowd, and we’re pretty sure hundreds of kids stopped by our tent to say hello and get a chance to climb aboard and explore one of our ambulances!

We loved seeing all the smiles, answering questions, showing off the truck, and giving the kids a little glimpse into what we do every day. Who knows…we may have even inspired a few future EMTs and paramedics!

A huge THANK YOU to Plum Borough for hosting such an incredible event and bringing our community together on a perfect fall day. Events like this are a great reminder of what makes Plum such a special place to live.

We’re proud to be IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY!

What a “Starry Night!”

Congratulations to Brian Turpin of Plum EMS on receiving one of just 14 Pennsylvania EMS Provider Foundation “Star of Life” Awards this year!

This award is incredibly well deserved, and we are grateful for all that Brian has done—and continues to do—for our community and the people we are honored to serve.

Congratulations, Brian! We are proud to have you on the Plum EMS team. Well done!

Plum EMS would like to extend our sincere gratitude to American Legion Post 980 of Plum Borough for hosting a beautiful and heartfelt memorial service honoring the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

It was a meaningful opportunity for our community to come together to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day, honor the countless families forever changed, and recognize the incredible courage and sacrifice of the first responders who ran toward danger when others were running away.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember those who never came home, those who answered the call, and the spirit of service and sacrifice that emerged from one of our nation's darkest days.

Thank you to American Legion Post 980 for keeping their memories alive and providing our community with a place to pause, reflect, and remember.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
