Well another year has passed us by. 2009 has seen some ups and some downs. I believe the ups have outweighed the downs. Twenty ten will present many new challenges for us. Fortunately,historically we Midstate people have turned those challenges into success stories. I trust 2010 will be no different. On behalf of Midstate EMS thanks for 2009 and we look forward to working with you in the new year. God Bless and stay safe!
