‘It's OK to not be OK': Paramedic creates support network for first responders
BOSTON (WPRI) — As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, 12 Health Anchor Shannon Hegy spoke with a Boston paramedic who has made it his mission to support fellow first responders. James Boomhower, a paramedic and Boston MedFlight pilot, founded Stay Fit 4 Duty, a platform that draws on his decades of experience to remind first responders that 'it's OK to not be OK.' 'One of the things a lot of people don't understand about the first responder profession is this idea that you can't just leave work at work,' Boomhower said. Stay Fit 4 Duty offers resources and training focused on physical and emotional wellness, peer support, and psychological first aid from mental health professionals. Boomhower shares his message through social media and at symposiums across the country. He also provides crisis response training and collaborates with other organizations to advocate for improved mental health and resilience education.

VSP pilots, Ballad Health flight nurses recognized for Unicoi County Hospital rescue
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WJHL) — Three Virginia State Police (VSP) trooper-pilots and two Ballad Health flight nurses were recognized for rescuing people from Unicoi County Hospital during Hurricane Helene. The Children's Emergency Care Alliance of Tennessee honored them with the 'Mutual Aid State Award' on Wednesday in Murfreesboro. BVFD: Three cats dead, no injuries reported after Bristol house fire Those recognized were: Retired First Sergeant Jeffrey W. Bush Master Trooper-Pilot Bryan W. Canada Trooper-Pilot Jacob A. Culp Ballad Health Flight Nurse April Boyd Flight Nurse/Paramedic Wayne Carroll According to VSP, two of its Med Flight helicopters from Abingdon flew into Tennessee on Sept. 27 and rescued 40 patients and others from the roof of Unicoi County Hospital, which was surrounded by floodwaters. Because they weren't sure if the roof was strong enough to hold a helicopter, the pilots had to perform skid rescues, meaning they hovered just above the roof. The rescue took around four hours. VSP said it responded because weather conditions were more favorable in Virginia. Once conditions improved, Tennessee National Guard resources were able to take flight. Ballad Health, which operates Unicoi County Hospital, is VSP's partner in operating Med Flight out of Abingdon. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
