Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Brandy Hall, September 17th, 2025
Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week is Brandy Hall, Paramedic with Johnson County emergency services.
Brandy always is going outside of her way to be the best advocate for her patients and does anything she can to make sure she does her best and provides everything she can to anyone in need. Brandy is a full-time paramedic with Johnston County Emergency Services! Brandy is an amazing friend, and she’s always in a great mood, even with her sassy little attitude, she always does what’s right for her friends, family, and patients!
Thank you, Brandy, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do.
