First Responder Friday – Jana

 August 6, 2022

This Friday we have Jana! Jana has an extremely compassionate heart for others, especially in their time of need. She is always looking for ways to serve and is a terrific example and encourager to others. Thank you for all that you do Jana!
Hi, I’m Jana! I became an EMT in 2019 graduating from the class hosted here at Gordonville. I volunteer once a week on Sunday nights and am on the weekend rotation. I can honestly say that I didn’t have aspirations to get into emergency services. Though I had incredible respect for first responders, supporting my husband who is a firefighter, I wasn’t sure I could really cut it. However, when encouraged to consider taking the EMT class by a family member/EMT who knew me well, the idea of learning a new skill set did spark interest. I already worked in health care as an occupational therapist; it’s a fulfilling career I consider my passion and professional calling. But, in true midlife crisis fashion, I signed up. I immediately found the training to be valuable and rewarding. I now get to connect and help people in the beginnings of a medical event as an EMT, and also when they are out of the hospital as a homecare therapist. I feel armed during my day job, as a community member, and even as a mother knowing I possess training to think fast, assess what is important, stay calm, and help a person in crisis. I enjoy how every call can teach you something- it builds both confidence and humility. Gordonville Fire and EMS has become a  wonderful place that inspires personal growth and community service. The atmosphere is like family- it’s a lot of fun being around such ambitious, genuine, (and often much younger) volunteers. Outside of work and time at the station, I love being with my boys who are 10, 11 and 41 (ha). We enjoy golfing, camping, playing games, and time away at the cabin or beach. I personally enjoy watching sports (go Phillies and Eagles), going for the occasional run or hike, and reading.
