  • Letters may be edited for length, style, and clarity.

Thanks for lifesaving response of Harvard and Bolton EMS

by Joanne Helhowski; Joe and Alina Schmidt  ·   Friday, May 29, 2026

Thank you to our dedicated first responders in Harvard and Bolton. Six months ago, after a cardiac arrest on the Bromfield pickleball court, the Harvard and Bolton EMS responded with quick CPR and defibrillation. As a result of their dedication, we have been able to enjoy many precious moments with friends and family over these past six months. During EMS week, we are reminded how grateful we are for these professionals in our community for the gift that keeps giving.
