Steve Parthemore Awarded Civilian Service Medal

September 3, 2022

Steve Parthemore recently returned from the 2022 National Disaster Medical System Summit in Indianapolis, IN. At the summit, he was honored to receive the COVID 19 Pandemic Campaign Civilian Service Medal from the United States Public Health Service. During the pandemic in 2020, Steve deployed to Travis Air Force Base in California, Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Georgia, and New York City.

Steve said that the people who should get a medal are his family and the amazing staff at the funeral home, who make it possible for him to volunteer. He is truly grateful. With out their support, he would not have the opportunity to serve.

While attending the summit he enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with old friends he has met over the years during various deployments and preparing for future disasters, whether manmade or natural.

The pandemic was the longest and most sustained activation in NDMS History. During the event 15,352 responders made up 356 teams and completed 2,207 missions with the responders, responding to the unknown.
