Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Brittany Mitchell, June 4th, 2025

Hometown Hero of the Week: Brittany Mitchell, June 4th, 2025

Our QDR Hometown Hero of the Week is Brittany Mitchell.

Brittany was nominated by Kaitlin Taylor, who says, “Brittany Mitchell is an amazing partner and preceptor. She has taught me many things throughout my career in EMS and shown me how to be a good provider. She also is always willing to help anyone and everyone she meets. She has been through so much as always comes to work and makes others laugh while feeling safe. She will always have your back throughout the most difficult situation you get put in and will always go to bat for the people she loves!”

Thank you, Brittany, 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.
