Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Kaycee Wallace, June 18th, 2025

Hometown Hero of the Week: Kaycee Wallace, June 18th, 2025

Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week is Kaycee Wallace, Wake County EMT.  

Kaycee was nominated by Connor Holland, who says, “Kaycee has been an EMT with Wake County EMS for nearly 5 years. She is the most hardworking and compassionate person I know. There are many reasons she deserves to be recognized but what stands out the most is her caring heart for others and determination. She is always up for a challenge. She is currently working to enroll in Advanced EMT to further her career and help the citizens of Wake County! Kaycee’s impact on Wake County is always remembered and never goes unnoticed!”

Thank you, Kaycee, 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.
