The
Gerald Ferrari Award was established to recognize persons who are
behind-the-scenes supporters of Emergency Medical Services. It is an
award to honor those who are part of the system in a non
hands-on
manner. Jerry
Ferrari was an ambulance salesman. However, he did not merely “sell”
ambulances. Instead, he acted as a technical expert and advisor to his
clients. He assisted EMS providers in making vehicle purchases by
listening to their needs and then by supporting their ideas and
suggestions with the manufacturers. His interest was not all in the
selling, but also in the satisfaction he could bring to his clients. Of
major importance to Jerry was that the sick and injured are entitled to
have the best transport equipment available to help them in their time
of need. This
award is to recognize individuals who are not necessarily Emergency
Medical Services practitioners, but rather, the unsung heroes whose work
is often behind the scenes and may go unnoticed and unappreciated,
persons whose efforts may positively change or enhance EMS. This award was established in 1997. |
