LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD PRESENTATION
On 4 May, at the monthly meeting of the Lebanon County Ambulance Association, the fourth lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Dr. Thomas Heberling, who has offered many years years of service to the citizens of Pennsylvania and to the EMS system in Lebanon County. Dr. Heberling has served in numerous roles over the years and continues to be an emergency physician at the Good Samaritan Hospital. Dr. Heberling supported our EMS classes in their formative years by offering instruction himself and prevailing on his peers to do the same. In its infancy, Dr. Heberling was a driving force with his support of the fledgling Lebanon County Ambulance Association. His energy and insight helped us see our future and his vision has proven to be correct. He was and continues to be a close friend to our EMS services and providers here in Lebanon County. Congratulations Dr. Heberling. Photos of the presentation may be viewed in the profiles section.
