Jon Kelley, a long time dispatcher for Trinity EMS, is hosting a blood drive on Feb 13th and 14th, 2010 from 9:30am to 4:30pm (Sat.) and 3:30pm (Sun.) at the Pepperell Community Center. Jon's son, Trent, was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma in May 2008 and spent 41 days at Children's Hospital. He underwent eight straight days of radiation at Bringham and Women's Hospital and was treated for blood clots in his chest and brain.
"He is doing really, really well," said Jon Kelley. When Trent was first diagnosed and undergoing radiation, he lost his hair. His dad, remaining positive and to show his son support, shaved his head so they would look like "twins". Now Trent is feeling better and doing great. His hair has grown back and was able to play Little League last spring.
The Kelley family has held blood drives for Children's Hospital in the past. Feeling better Trent wanted to run another one, so stop by the Pepperell Community Center this weekend.

The Salvation Army of Haverhill held their Salute to Heroes during their 2nd Annual Kettle Kickoff Breakfast. The breakfast honored local heroes within the Fire Department, Police Department and the EMS Field for 2009. The packed event was held at DiBurro's in Haverhill. Trinity had three nominees within the EMS field: Paramedic and Haverhill Operations Manager John Hebert, Paramedic and Haverhill Assistant Operations Manager Joe Swales, Paramedic and Nurse Manager at Brigham and Woman's ICU Dave Dolan.
Each nominee was recognized for their outstanding work and effort during difficult scenarios that had occurred during 2009. After difficult deliberation, the committee chose Dave Dolan as 2009 EMS/Hero of the Year.
The incident:
On August 15, 2009 Paramedic David Dolan was working his scheduled shift on P80 when he and his partner were dispatched to a Motorcycle verses minivan on Rte 125 in Plaistow NH. Dave and his partner arrived to find 2 critically injured patients lying on the ground. He assessed the scene quickly and handled the highly stressful and chaotic scene calmly and professionally. He took control of the scene and rapidly treated the patients using all the skills he has learned during his many years in EMS and provided superb lifesaving care to both patients who had sustained grave injuries. From a fellow Paramedic, "Dave displayed the qualities we in EMS all hope to acquire."
