Nya:wëh from Debra Bowman

I would like to acknowledge the Seneca Nation EMS for their service, more than once this year but lately on May 8th, they responded to my work and transported me to Buffalo General while I was having a stroke. Each time, the professionalism of the crew was able to put me at ease, as I’m sure I was borderline hysterical, from the broken arm, torn meniscus, to this stroke, they were fast and efficient and got me to the hospital within the time frame to be given the medicine to reverse the stroke. Unfortunately, as luck would have it, they surmised that I was actually having two strokes at the same time. While I went in with left side paralysis, I ultimately ended up with right side paralysis. Thanks to everyone, especially EMS, for their service and for the community support, I am Blessed.

Nya:wëh,
