A Message from Chief Salvis

“I am proud to be a part of the Leadership Team at DTSSAB EMS.  Healthcare delivery faces many challenges in a post-pandemic world.  However, we have been rising to those challenges and will continue to do so.  Today, tomorrow, and long into the future.”     

 

A Vision of Support  

  • DTSSAB EMS’ paramedics aim to provide excellent out-of-hospital healthcare as we support individuals in need through both the traditional frontline 911 response and our Community Paramedic programs.   

  • The EMS Leadership Team strives to support our staff so that our staff can be ready to respond to the needs of our communities.   

  • All staff aim to support one another so the organization can thrive and meet the challenges we face.   

Delivery is our Mission 

  • DTSSAB EMS uses data and evidence to drive our decisions, shape the organization, and steer us towards our goals.   

  • We aim to collaborate with community stakeholders so we may understand and respond to the needs of the individuals we serve. 

A Commitment to Our Values of Integrity and Respect 

  • As a leader, I believe very strongly in the importance of integrity and respect. 

  • I am committed to honest and transparent communication.  I accept accountability for my actions and the actions of my team.   

  • I aim to be empathetic as I treat people with courtesy and fairness.   

The Paramedic profession has been transforming and growing a lot over the last few years.  New models of care, expanded scope of practice, changes to equipment, etc. all point to an exciting time for the paramedics of DTSSAB EMS.  I look forward to helping to lead this organization into the next chapter of its story in the District of Timiskaming.  I am committed to supporting this Team as we deliver on our mission. 

Stay safe out there. 

Sincerely, 

Sarah Salvis
