Home for the Holidays

‘Home for the Holidays’ at Nielsen’s Florist to Benefit Darien EMS-Post 53

There’s something very special in Darien. Darien is home to one of the only programs of its kind in the United States: Darien EMS- Post 53. This nationally recognized organization relies on high school students and adult volunteers/advisors to provide emergency medical services to our town. Some may be nervous at the thought of a teenager responding to an emergency call, but these young adults are different than most! They are state certified EMTs who are trained to a standard of excellence with medical direction provided by Stamford Hospital.
