It's not quite Halloween 🎃 but we got an early treat courtesy of our friends at the Richmond SPCA as part of our Paws for Paramedics program. 🐾 We highlight pets in need of adoption and they help our first responders relieve stress with monthly visits. Freddy (cat) 😺 and Snickerdoodle (dog) 🐶 are incredibly sweet and looking for their furever homes. If you are interested in either or any loving pet, visit the Richmond SPCA!

Thanks for stopping by! 👋🏽

Today is World Stroke Day and today we are raising awareness about stroke prevention, emergency recognition, treatment, and survivor support. A stroke is a medical emergency where every minute counts. Here is a throwback to a fantastic story from Sarah Chakales 12 On Your Side about the steps our agency took to recognize strokes more quickly with training from the American Heart Association

It's First Responders Day! We want to give a shout-out to Virginia Commonwealth University Men's Basketball and Woodfin for stopping by to thank our first responders and hand out some swag in recognition of the work they do!

VCU, in partnership with Woodfin, is hosting a Community Heroes Night on Wednesday, November 11th and in advance visited some of our local heroes.

Thank you so much for coming out and good luck in the game! We'll be cheering for you!

Today is National First Responders Day! It's a day meant to recognize all the brave and heroic work of those who are the first to respond when there is an emergency. We recently held our Employee Appreciation Event to recognize our employees and our service award winners. We had a great time as our HR team organized a Neon Mini Golf and Arcade party for staff and their families. It was an amazing event filled with fun and great food. For those working, they were still able to get in on the fun by winning door prizes.

These are just a few of the people who make up this agency but we are thankful to all of RAA's staff for the work they do. To them and our partners, we thank you and hope you all have a great National First Responders Day. Check out more photos below:
