On Friday February 19th, the San Juan Island EMS welcomed Jerry Martin as the new chief. Many community members came to meet the new chief and socialize at the EMS station near the hospital.
Jerry comes from Ferndale with his wife and four kids where he served as a paramedic and firefighter for many years. He is excited to be a part of the San Juan Island EMS and learn the system and looks forward to learning the ways of island life.
Mark Schwinge, a public hospital district commissioner, states that he is “very happy to have him.” It seems Jerry will be greeted warmly by our community and will enjoy his time here.
