AWARDS, CEREMONIES AND PROCLAMATIONS
A. EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AWARD, JULY 2018- BRANDON
HOWARD, FIRE DEPARTMENT
Don Christensen read the nomination of Brandon Howard, Fire Department, to
receive Employee of the Month Award for July 2018. Mr. Howard was nominated
by Nate Hansen. The award reads as follows:
It is impossible to summarize in a few words what kind of a Paramedic
Brandon Howard is to the West Valley City Fire Department and the
citizens of West Valley. Brandon has worked for West Valley Fire for over
10 years and dedicated himself to caring for a unique and complex group of
patients and co-workers. Brandon has made countless contributions and is
currently one of our pioneering CCP’s. Brandon embraces challenges and
changes with innovative strategies. One of Brandon’s most notable qualities
is his ability to communicate with compassion and empathy to our
community. Our department was tasked with creating a new program to
teach Hands Only CPR to our community. Brandon without hesitation took
a leadership role in this challenging program and is the type of person you
want on your side when facing a complex situation. His research and
experience led to the purchase of the latest and greatest Laerdal manikins
with feedback technology, production of a short 5 min CPR video, and
tracking bystander CPR in our community. Brandon currently teaches
Hands Only CPR to our community monthly and shares stories and
experiences above and beyond what is expected which will no doubt impact
survival rates of cardiac arrest patients in West Valley and beyond. Brandon
is a leading force for our department, he performs his duties above and
beyond and encourages others by constantly sharing and enlightening
us with his knowledge. I cannot think of another person who is more
deserving of the Employee of the Month, because, simply put, Brandon is
an extraordinary EMS provider. See pushtosurvive.org for his video.
B. PROCLAMATION DECLARING THE YEAR OF 2018 AS GREAT SALT
