JASON COMER AWARD NOMINATIONS

Jason Comer was a Paramedic who worked in Solano County until his passing in December 2016.  He began his career as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in 2001, eventually rising through the ranks to become the QA Manager for Medic Ambulance, an ambulance provider based in Solano County.  He was a field training officer who mentored many paramedics and EMTs who are currently working in California’s EMS system.  He was also an active advocate and participant in the “Every 15 Minutes” program which targets teens and tackles the issue of drinking/texting  while driving.  This program offers real-life experience addressing the impacts of drinking/texting while driving, without imposing the real-life risks for high school students. 

Jason’s commitment and contribution to the local EMS community will be honored annually through the issuance of the Jason Comer Award beginning in 2018.  The Jason Comer award is designed to recognize an individual for his or her outstanding commitment, dedication, and contributions to improving emergency medical service for the residents and visitors of Solano County.

Nominations are now OPEN.

MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS:

The Solano Healthcare Emergency Auxiliary Response Team (Solano HEART) is looking for medical and non-medical volunteers who are interested in assisting Solano Public Health and the general public during a disaster or catastrophic event.

Solano HEART is a community operated project that will function to locally recruit, train, and deploy volunteers.  When a public health emergency occurs, the need for volunteers may be tremendous.  HEART volunteers will be used to supplement existing emergency services when a disaster is of a magnitude that exceeds existing resources.  Volunteer skills and expertise will also be utilized in preventive community programs throughout the year.

Who can volunteer? 

Solano HEART is seeking volunteer medical professionals, such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, veterinarians, and epidemiologists.  Community members such as interpreters, chaplains, office workers, legal advisors, and others are also being sought as they can fill vital roles during an emergency.

How do I join?

An application to become a member of Solano HEART can be found in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) forms section of the Solano County EMS web page at https://www.solanocounty.com/depts/ems/forms/default.asp .
