Good Fellowship is an EMS agency that covers the West Chester area and offers a wide array of training courses for EMS and the general public.
📚🚑 We’re excited to welcome 28 new Paramed 📚🚑 We’re excited to welcome 28 new Paramedic students as they begin their journey during orientation today! 🚨✏️ This group of future clinicians is stepping up to take on one of the most challenging and rewarding roles in EMS, and we couldn’t be more proud to support them along the way.
Earlier this summer, Good Fellowship officially pl Earlier this summer, Good Fellowship officially placed the new Rehab 55 in service! This 2025 Ford Transit cargo van replaces a trailer originally placed in service in 2011. It was specially outfitted for this role and retrofitted with a foldable rear access ramp by @trmupfits. Rehab 55 provides vital support at major incidents, offering first responders a place to cool down, rehydrate, and receive medical evaluation so they can continue their work safely and effectively. Rehab 55 was purchased by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Regional Task Force (SEPA-RTF), with @chescodes facilitating the funding and procurement process. We are deeply grateful for their support in bringing this vital service to all of Chester County’s first responders. We also extend a heartfelt thank you to our supporters who assist with ongoing operating costs and supplies for Rehab 55: • Chester County Fire Chiefs Association • @belforgroup/1-800-BoardUp of Philadelphia • Chester County EMS Council, Inc. 🚨 About Rehab 55 This vehicle is equipped with: • Inflatable, temperature-controlled shelter • Generator and portable lighting • Portable seating and cots • Medical supplies and mass casualty equipment Formed in 2010, the Rehab Unit responds to large incidents throughout the region to safeguard the health and safety of first responders. First responders face risks from stress, heat, cold, and hazardous environments. During rehab, their temperature and vital signs are monitored while they hydrate and recover. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, nearly half of on-duty firefighter deaths are cardiac-related. By providing structured rehab, our goal is to identify abnormal vital signs or concerning symptoms early and potentially prevent cardiac events after intense physical activity during an emergency.
Last night, we proudly hosted the graduation cerem Last night, we proudly hosted the graduation ceremony for our 2024–2025 Good Fellowship and Chester County Hospital Consortium for Paramedic Education class. These dedicated students have invested countless hours in the classroom, in clinical settings, and in the field, all in preparation to serve the community with skill, compassion, and professionalism. Their hard work, determination, and commitment to excellence in emergency medical care inspire us all. Of the 18 graduates, 5 are Good Fellowship members: Ryan Berkheiser, Nha Bui, Ralph Lintelman, Tanja Praefcke, and Lela Robinson. All of them will now step into paramedic positions within Good Fellowship. We are also proud to share that Good Fellowship paramedic Devin Landolfi was recognized by the graduates as Preceptor of the Year, an award honoring the preceptor who has made the most significant impact throughout the program. To our graduates, congratulations on this incredible achievement! Your journey as paramedics is just beginning, and we know you will make a profound difference in the lives of those you serve. To our instructors, preceptors, families, and friends, thank you for your unwavering support and encouragement every step of the way.

Happy International Paramedic’s Day!!!! Today w Happy International Paramedic’s Day!!!! Today we recognize the hard work and dedication of paramedics (especially our own) who work tirelessly every day to treat the sick and injured and support our community.

This year, we celebrate the incredible ways paramedics come together to support each other and their communities, overcoming challenges to deliver the best possible care. Launched in 2022, International Paramedics Day takes place on the 8th of July each year, marking the anniversary of the birth of Dominique-Jean Larrey, often referred to as the father of modern-day ambulance services” On behalf of all of us, thank you! #unityandcommunity

In the coming weeks this vehicle will be outfitted with emergency lights / siren, and will get a custom-built mount to hold a full size stretcher and complement of medical supplies. ATV 55 is a Polaris Ranger XP1000, and a much needed addition to our fleet. This vehicle will help our providers safely and effectively extricate patients from our various local trails and off-road areas, as well as the many large events held in the West Chester and Exton areas every year. Stay tuned for its debut in a few weeks.

Good Fellowship Ambulance has once again been nati Good Fellowship Ambulance has once again been nationally recognized by the American Heart Association for its unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, lifesaving care to patients suffering from heart attacks and strokes. The agency has earned the Mission: Lifeline® EMS Gold Achievement Award for the seventh time, marking its eighth overall receipt of the American Heart Association’s highest level of recognition for excellence in emergency cardiovascular and stroke care. This distinction reflects years of disciplined clinical performance, training, and system-level coordination designed to reduce time to treatment for time-sensitive conditions. Serving the greater West Chester area, Good Fellowship’s paramedics and EMTs are trained to deliver critical interventions from the moment they arrive on scene, often starting treatment up to an hour sooner than if the patient arrived at the hospital by private vehicle. This year, Good Fellowship Ambulance is also honored as a recipient of the Mission: Lifeline® System of Care Target: Heart Attack Award, recognizing exemplary teamwork between EMS and hospitals in reducing delays for heart attack patients transported to STEMI-receiving centers. Lastly, Good Fellowship also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Stroke℠ Honor Roll Award, recognizing the agency’s success in minimizing the time from stroke symptom recognition in the field to hospital-based thrombolytic (clot busting) treatment, a critical factor in improving neurological outcomes.

Good Fellowship would like to place the spotlight Good Fellowship would like to place the spotlight on some of our providers who were recognized this past Thursday at the annual Chester County EMS Council, Inc. awards banquet, held at the Red Clay Room in Kennett Square. The following providers were recognized for lifesaving awards for their roles in resuscitating victims of sudden cardiac arrest within the year 2024, leading to all of these victims walking out of the hospital with minimal or no major deficits and allowing no them to continue living their normal lives. The following providers include: Andrew Cornell - Paramedic John Fell - EMT Marley Blood - Paramedic Brian Weigand - EMT Brian Sporek - Paramedic Justin Robbins - Paramedic Jacob Kirsch - Paramedic Andrew Tucker - Paramedic Colin Bauer - Paramedic Additionally, Paramedic and Assistant Director of Clinical Care & Quality Assurance Colin Bauer was selected for “ALS provider of the year”. This distinguished award is presented in recognition of Colin’s contributions, which extend beyond direct patient care—his dedication to data-driven clinical improvement, continuing education, and provider mentorship ensures that ALS providers within our department are better equipped to serve this community. Colin has led several major clinical initiatives over his time with GFAC to include the addition of video laryngoscopy, the utilization of critical care infusion pumps, and the addition of critical lifesaving medications like norepinephrine and intravenous nitroglycerine. His leadership among peers and steadfast commitment to advancing pre-hospital emergency care as a profession make him an outstanding candidate for the ALS Provider of the Year Award. Congratulations to all, you make your peers and your community very proud! #cardiacarrestsurvivor #EMSWeek #EMS
