Officials of Acadian Ambulance Service have announced that Jamie Bergeron has been chosen as a finalist for the 2005 Paramedic of the Year award. Bergeron represents the Western Parishes— Acadia, Acadia, Jefferson Davis, and Calcasieu—of the service area and is stationed in Acadia Parish. Each year the medics of Acadian Ambulance Service select one of their peers as the outstanding paramedic of the year.

“The honor we pay to our Medic of the Year for outstanding service is shared by all Acadian medics, and especially those who were bestowed the honor of nominee,” said Director of Operations, Jerry Romero. "The nominees bring a high degree of professionalism to their jobs, as well as an attitude of caring and concern for the people they serve. We are proud to recognize Jamie as an outstanding medic in the field of emergency medical services and as the Medic of the Year Nominee for the Western Parishes.”

A fourteen-year veteran, Bergeron joined Acadian Ambulance in 1990. Jamie's peers in their nomination said, “ Jamie's passion for EMS and his willingness to help others anytime, anywhere is what makes him who he is. He always has a positive can-do approach to everything that he does. Jamie is a great person, an outstanding medic and an all around A+ employee.”

The 2005 Medic of the Year will be announced at the annual Paramedic Luncheon on October 28 in Lafayette. Former United States President George Bush will serve as guest speaker for the event where more than 800 guests from the medical community, elected officials and public safety agencies are expected to attend.
