LYME—Lyme Ambulance Association (LAA) has welcomed two new Emergency Medical Responders (EMR). The two new EMR’s are Richard (Dick) Conniff and Geoff Liggett.
A press release issued by the LAA states, “We’re thrilled to introduce two outstanding additions to our team of dedicated volunteers. These individuals embody the spirit of community service that makes Lyme so special.”
Conniff is a globe-trotting writer for National Geographic and author of numerous books, Conniff, who resides in Lyme with his wife Karen, has chosen to root himself deeper in the Lyme community. With a wealth of experiences and a passion for public health, he is now serving his neighbors.
After a successful career in fundraising for educational institutions, Liggett has found the perfect balance between an active retirement and giving back. A local resident with his partner Christine, Liggett brings enthusiasm and a love for outdoor activities to the LAA team.
The LAA leaders remind LymeLine readers that EMRs and EMTs come from all walks of life, united by their desire to help others. No prior medical experience is needed – just a willingness to learn and serve.
Lyme Ambulance Association provides all the necessary training to become an EMR or EMT.
