Community Emergency Corps

We are saddened by the passing of Mia Morris, a Nurse and Nursing Supervisor at Albany Medical Center, who bravely battled breast cancer. Since 2024, proceeds from CEC’s Breast Cancer Awareness shirts have gone toward supporting Mia in her fight. Her strength inspired so many, and her impact will not be forgotten. As shared in her obituary: “Mia’s legacy is one of love, courage, and dedication. Her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her - a beacon of hope and strength.”

We also mourn the unexpected loss of Anthony “Tony” Nardone, a well-known and respected EMS provider who devoted his life to serving his community. Tony’s compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to others left a lasting mark on countless lives. He was not only a provider, but a friend, a mentor, and someone who truly embodied the spirit of service.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of both Mia and Tony. Their legacies of compassion, strength, and service will continue to live on in the communities they so faithfully served.

Rest easy, we’ll take it from here. 🕊️

This past Saturday, Executive Director Edwards represented CEC at the Ballston Spa Central School District Health & Wellness Fair. 🩺

She even had the opportunity to catch up with Senator Jim Tedisco, an outspoken supporter of first responders and promoting healthy choices in our communities! 💪

🚑 National Recognition for Life-Saving Care ❤️🧠

Community Emergency Corps has received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline® EMS Silver Achievement Award for our commitment to delivering rapid, evidence-based care to patients experiencing severe heart attacks and strokes.

This award recognizes EMS agencies that consistently meet national benchmarks for early identification, timely treatment, and coordinated care - starting when 911 is called and continuing through transport to the hospital. These critical steps help reduce treatment delays and improve patient outcomes when every second matters.

We’re incredibly proud of our providers who put proven guidelines into practice every day to give our patients the best possible chance at survival. Thank you to our team for their dedication, training, and teamwork that make this level of care possible. 💪👏

Even as Winter Storm Fern rolled through, our crews continued responding to calls for help, safely transporting patients and serving our community. Weather doesn’t pause emergencies, and it doesn’t stop this team.

A huge thank you to our dedicated crews who came in, suited up, and answered the call despite the conditions.

And thank you to the DPW and highway crews working nonstop to keep roads passable and responders moving.

Stay safe and stay warm! 💙
