Honoring First Responders: In recognition of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, WVU Medicine Garrett Regional Medical Center and Potomac Valley Hospital donated $1,500 to Garrett County EMS and $1,500 to Mineral County EMS to honor the dedication, bravery, and service of local first responders. Pictured, from left, are Maria Upperman, Southern Rescue Squad; Cody Wilt, Northern Rescue Squad; Justin Orendorf, Garrett County Emergency Management; and Anna Orendorf, Bittinger Volunteer Fire Department. The donation serves as a heartfelt thank-you to the first responders who continue to answer the call and serve their communities every day.
