Submitted by San Juan Island EMS

Congratulations John Gossom our April EMT of the month. John is one of the kindest and accommodating volunteers around EMS these days. He is always willing to stay later and take assignment giving up his valued personal time with a smile.

Lately, John has been a huge influence with our current EMT class acting as evaluator and patient preparing students for final testing. You may recognize John’s smile from San Juan Healthcare Associates where he currently works. John is on track to head off island to paramedic school which has been a long dream of his.

We will miss his easy-going manner when he leaves the rank of EMT for school. If you see John around town with his fiancé Rachel, be sure to shake his hand in congratulations.
