Josh Stafford, a paramedic with Citizens Memorial Hospital (CMH) Emergency Medical Services, has been honored with the May 2024 CMH TULIP Award recipient.

Stafford was nominated by two staff members from the Cox South Emergency Department, who praised his exceptional commitment and teamwork during a challenging situation.

One nomination read, “[Josh Stafford] brought a patient who needed to be decontaminated on May 20, 2024. The crew was absolutely amazing! They stayed and helped us until we were finished. I work at Cox South ER as a Tech and no other crew from any service has stayed.”

The second nomination echoed the praise, “They (Josh Stafford and the EMT) were amazing! They brought us a patient that needed to be decontaminated and stayed to help us here at Cox South.”
