Philip Neff

Phillip Neff has been a dedicated EMT at Falck Southern California for the past three years. Born and raised in Buena Park, California, Phillip developed a passion for medicine at a young age, learning as much as he could about sports medicine and dreaming of becoming a doctor. During high school, he gained valuable experience through an internship program at Kaiser Permanente, where he focused on clinical care.

Since starting his career at Falck, Phillip has worked diligently toward his goal of becoming a paramedic. He has embraced numerous opportunities to teach and mentor others, serving as a Field Training Officer and sharing his knowledge with the next generation of EMTs.

Phillip is being honored for his exceptional response during a challenging call involving a stroke patient. Not only did he correctly identify the patient’s condition, but he also advocated for them at the hospital, expediting care and likely reducing the chance of long-term deficits. His commitment to patient advocacy and clinical excellence exemplifies his dedication to EMS.

Phillip is happily engaged to his fiancée, Alexandrya, and continues to work toward his goal of advancing in the EMS field. His dedication, compassion, and leadership make him a deserving recipient of the Stars of Life award.
