From staff reports
In March, the South Carolina Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Association held its annual South Carolina EMS Symposium at Kingston Plantation in Myrtle Beach, and three Beaufort County EMS personnel were honored with awards for Paramedic of the Year, Advanced Emergency Medical Technician of the Year, and Emergency Medical Technician of the Year – a feat rarely if ever accomplished by one South Carolina Emergency Medical Services agency.
Heather “Nickie” Jarrell took home the award for 2023 South Carolina Paramedic of the Year; Jason Schroyer was named 2023 South Carolina Advanced Emergency Medical Technician of the Year; and
Eddie “Catlin” Schroyer was named 2023 South Carolina Emergency Medical Technician of the Year.
South Carolina EMS agencies and professionals are eligible to receive awards recognizing their professionalism, along with their efforts to go above and beyond to serve their community. All nominations are reviewed and vetted by a panel of professionals from outside the South Carolina area.
