York Region Paramedic receives Ontario Medal for Bravery

The Regional Municipality of York would like to congratulate Taylor Collins, a Primary Care Paramedic, recently awarded the Ontario Medal for Paramedic Bravery.

In September 2023, Taylor encountered a head-on collision on her way home after a shift and, despite dangers and risk to her own safety, jumped into action to help save the vehicle occupants’ lives. Her courage, bravery and selfless actions exemplify the true essence of heroism and a testament to York Region Paramedic Services’ commitment to supporting the health and well-being of residents.

The Ontario Medal for Paramedic Bravery is awarded to paramedics who have demonstrated great courage risking their lives to save the lives of others. It was recently presented at a special ceremony by the Honourable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, and Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. 2024 Recipients of Ontario Medal for Paramedic Bravery | Ontario Newsroom
