| The Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners uses the Nancy Lee
McKay Paramedic of the Year Award for the purpose of recognizing an
outstanding individual Paramedic, or rescue company, for service above
and beyond the call of duty. This recognition can be for an act of
heroism, unusual dedication or significant program impact for our public's
safety.
The Nancy Lee McKay Award will be given in conjunction with the
Board of County Commissioners Proclamation of EMS Week, which is
held annually during the month of May. This Proclamation/Award will
occur on the regularly scheduled BOCC meeting just prior to EMS
Week.
The Nancy Lee McKay Paramedic of the Year Award was established
by the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners by unanimous
vote in 1998. Nancy Lee McKay was a community activist whose tireless
efforts were instrumental in establishing a quality EMS system in
Hillsborough County.
Selection Process
Each June, nominations are solicited from Hillsborough County
Fire Rescue personnel and completed nominations are then submitted
to the Fire Personnel Chief. Following the submission of the
nominations, the Fire Rescue Executive Staff will review all
nominations and make a recommendation to the Fire Chief, who
then selects the winner for the year.
