Chambersburg student earns 2009 Student Health Care Hero Award ...

Remarkable young lady! What a wonderful human being whose family (and herself) can be very proud of. I hope she can reach her goals and from what she has already achieved, it's almost a sure bet. BTW, it is amazing to me that she has reached such a maturity level at this young age and has her responsibilty priorities straight (ahead of many who are decades older). Have a marvelous life and go for it all, Kelly!

Way to go Kelly, we are all proud of you!!! YOU GO GIRL..........

This would be a good article if they would have given it to someone that truly deserved it. I love how there is a lot of "fluff" in this story. I am just curious to know how many calls this person actually ran with her department. There are many other fire fighters and ambulance people that actually deserve the title of hero but they never get it.

It's not just about the number of calls a volunteer runs. What about all the "behind the scenes" time and all fundraisers and the time spend for the good of the company. Just because a person is not a top-responder dosn't mean he or she makes less of a difference.***If you re-read this article, you will see that it relates to health care in general, not being a "hero" as in a firefighter. This young lady has volunteered with many other worthy causes besides the fire department, which Im sure "I can say what I want"-- You are a member of.***

Did you read the article??? its not just about the fire department, it was an award won for healthcare.... dumb---
your just putting her down because you want an award for what meanial tasks you do.

AND... you should be sastified with her getting the award, its good PR for the company to be mentioned in the article... since you care so much about how many calls someone runs...

Say what you want, but go back and read the story. It says "student or youth" award. I didn't read any 'fluff' in this story, just a story about a young girl and all her hard work.

As far as I'm concerned, fire fighters and EMTs ARE all heroes!

It is a good article, and there is no fluff, notice how its the health care hero award not the most calls for a department award, this isnt just about her department its about all the community service hours she did for various health care organizations, if she wouldent have got the award and some other teen did would you ask how many calls they ran or if they were even a volunteer. its just sad that you have to criticize some one elses achievements to feel better about yourself. get a life
