It is with great pride that Hall Ambulance Service nominates Krystal Barboza for the prestigious American Ambulance Association’s Star of Life award. Krystal has demonstrated extraordinary dedication and leadership in reviving our community outreach program, which had come to a complete halt due to the severe restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Her passion for connecting with and educating the community about the importance of emergency medical services has been truly inspiring.

In the wake of the pandemic, when our organization was struggling to re-engage with the public, Krystal took the initiative to rekindle our outreach efforts. Recognizing the critical need for EMS education and support in the community, she worked tirelessly to rebuild relationships, design programs, and ensure that our team could once again have a positive and impactful presence in the lives of those we serve. Krystal has built amazing working relationships with California Highway Patrol, Bakersfield Police Department, Kern County Sheriff’s Department, Kern County Probation, Kern County Fire Department, and Bakersfield City Fire Department.

Krystal’s efforts led to the successful organization of health fairs, school visits, career fairs, and public safety demonstrations. Krystal has attended 71 events this year, with 15 additional scheduled through the end of the year. This count does not even include those she has arranged, and others attended in her place. We know there will be more events in the upcoming holiday season and Krystal will participate in each with a smile on her face and her love for EMS is evident to every person she interacts with.  Her unwavering commitment to connect, interact, and educate helped reestablish trust and collaboration between our agency and the local community, allowing us to continue fulfilling our mission of care, compassion, and community.

Krystal’s leadership, creativity, and drive have both revived our community outreach and set new standards for how we engage with the public post-pandemic. She embodies the values of care, compassion, and community, which are at the core of EMS, making her an exemplary candidate for Stars of Life recognition.

Johan Alvarado

Written by Amanda Riordan on . Posted in Uncategorized.

Johan Alvarado’s skill, EMS knowledge, and quick thinking are credited for saving the life of a patient in another company’s ground ambulance when that ambulance and an 18-wheeler collided.

Johan, along with Flight Nurse Juvencio Estrada, were dispatched to the scene of the accident, when they realized that one of the patients in the ambulance was experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, and right arm trauma with a tourniquet applied. Both Johan and Juvencio assessed that the patient needed to be immediately transported to advanced care, so they removed the patient from the ambulance and placed them into their aircraft.

During a fuel stop at Laredo International Airport, Johan and Juvencio determined that the patient’s left anterior chest was unstable along with other medical concerns. They deemed a needle decompression was necessary and performed both intricate medical procedures. Immediately, the patient’s condition improved.

Johan and Juvencio’s interventions were lifesaving. Even the patient who survived that ordeal credits their survival to Johan and Juvencio’s care.

Aubree Arneson is being recognized for her clinical expertise, which led to the successful resuscitation of a cardiac arrest patient. Aubree was off duty, working out at the gym when the person on the exercise machine next to her went down. Aubree recognized the signs of cardiac arrest, calmly had someone call 911, retrieved the gym’s AED and initiated CPR with the help of a gym employee. Together they applied the AED and performed CPR until an ambulance arrived, then assisted the crew in treating and transporting the patient. The patient had a return of spontaneous circulation shortly after the ambulance arrived. Aubree’s quick, calm and precise response to this sudden cardiac arrest greatly improved the odds of this positive outcome.

Aubree became an EMT about six years ago, then progressed to the Advanced EMT level two years ago. She plans to continue to advance her career by taking the Intermediate EMT course when it becomes available.

Henry Barsh is being honored as a 2024 Star of Life for his quick actions in recognizing symptoms of a stroke, which directly led to saving the life of a mother of three. Henry and his partner arrived on scene of a 911 call where the patient reported pain in her left arm which was the result, she said, of an assault the previous night. Through a quick assessment, Henry recognized the true nature of her pain—left-side weakness nearing paralysis, hallmarks of an active stroke.

Henry immediately placed a C-collar on the patient and called a rapid-trauma alert. He suspected possible spinal damage as the underlying cause of the stroke and began doing everything to support the patient’s shallow breathing and reduce her motion. Upon arrival at the healthcare facility, the patient was immediately brought into the trauma bay, where she was assessed and received imaging that showed multiple cervical fractures with transection of the left vertebral artery.

Aidan started his career in public safety at the young age of 10, invited by the local fire chief to clean tables at the pancake breakfast.
