When they transport a patient to the hospital, said Stacey, they remain at the hospital, often checking on their patients and talking to them. "I like going to a house and they think 'Thank God you are here,'" said Matt.
Stacey and Matt both attend Lord Fairfax Community College. She is studying physical therapy and Matt is studying liberal arts. He plans to go on and study to be a paramedic and was already accepted at a school in Michigan for that.
He wants to be a paid paramedic but would still be a volunteer with Sperryville. He also works at the Exxon in Sperryville and Stacey works at Country Manor.
Tiffany Stanley, a 16-year-old in the 11th grade at RCHS, was named the Outstanding EMS Junior Rescue Person for 1996 for Rappahannock County. So far she is certified in CPR and will be taking EMT classes later. Her mother, Peggy Stanley, is an EMT and LPN. Tiffany's cousin, Chris Payne, got her interested in rescue and she joined when just 14.
On calls, Tiffany said she does whatever she is told to do, which may be helping with the stretcher, setting up oxygen tanks, checking a pulse. She plans to become an RN, but said she would still run volunteer rescue calls. "I would never leave it. I enjoy it too much," said Tiffany.
Tiffany said she really enjoys helping people. "When the tones go out you get this feeling and you gotta go," she added.
Selena Landry, a 17-year-old senior at RCHS, has been with the rescue squad for two years. She and her mother, Chris Foreman, attended EMT school together, "kind of a motherdaughter thing," said Selena.
