Amy Major

Amy Major is an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) with New London Hospital Ambulance Service (NLHAS) who has dedicated many years to serving her community. Respected by her colleagues for her professionalism, compassion, and unwavering commitment to patient care, Amy brings both clinical skill and genuine humanity to every call.

Those qualities were especially evident during a recent response to a pedestrian-struck incident in a remote area of the NLHAS service district. Amy and her partner, Liam, encountered a critically injured patient who had been pinned between two vehicles. The patient had sustained devastating lower-extremity and pelvic injuries, significant blood loss, and severe pain.

Faced with an extremely challenging and time-sensitive situation, Amy remained calm and focused. She played an important role in controlling the patient’s injuries and hemorrhage, managing their pain, and preparing them for rapid transport to a waiting medical helicopter. Her composure and clinical judgment helped ensure the patient received the critical care needed during the transition to a higher level of treatment.

Just as important as Amy’s clinical care was the compassion she provided. In the midst of an extraordinarily frightening experience, she remained present for her patient, offering reassurance and comfort while she and her partner worked to address life-threatening injuries. Her ability to combine skilled medical care with empathy exemplifies the kind of provider Amy is.

Amy’s years of dedicated service have made her an important and valued member of the NLHAS team. Her actions during this challenging response reflect the professionalism, compassion, and commitment she brings to her patients and community every day.

New London Hospital Ambulance Service is proud to recognize Amy Major as a Star of Life.
