Paramedic Services at the Santa Claus Parade

Staff from Region of Waterloo Paramedic Services participated in the local Santa Claus Parade this past Saturday to collect winter clothing donations for community partner Sanguen Health Centre. They successfully received approximately 80 new items to donate.

Sanguen Health Centre provides wrap around support to those experiencing high degrees of marginalization as a result of substance use, mental health, homelessness and chronic poverty. They will be distributing the clothing to their clients across the region through their mobile community health van.

Staff will be receiving an upgrade to eDOCS in Q1 2024 that includes new user-friendly and personalized features.

This upgrade will include a customized dashboard that will make your documents more easily accessible when you need them. Watch the video to learn more!

Region of Waterloo Paramedic Services (PSV) have launched a new Peer Support Team to provide emotional support to colleagues. They are currently looking for volunteers to fill this team, which is open to all staff in PSV including logistics, support and paramedics.

Nominate a colleague (or yourself) through this form before December 11, 2023.

The Peer Support Program will be available for PSV staff to access in spring 2024.
