🚨 Attention, all Capital Community College Paramedic Program Alumni! 🚨

2026 will mark 40 years (🤯) since the first cohort of Capital Paramedics graduated from the Saint Francis Hospital / Hartford State Technical College EMS education partnership.

65 cohorts and nearly 1,500 graduates later, we are gearing up to celebrate numerous milestones in 2026! One exciting highlight will include the ongoing renovations to our new state-of-the-art EMS lab 🚑

The ask: Help us decorate our new space!

In addition to dedicated classroom, laboratory, and simulation space, there will be a collaborative area where students can learn about the history of the program. We are hoping to collect:

📸 Photos (Polaroids will be accepted 😉)

🎞️ Historical information / memorabilia

🛡️ Service Patches (reflecting the agencies where graduates spent their career)

Please drop off or pass along any items to faculty or currently enrolled students/colleagues. Alternatively, you can mail them directly to:

Trish Wain

Thanks in advance to anyone who sends stuff our way - it’s much appreciated 🤗

Stay tuned for additional updates and alumni opportunities in 2026!

Alexander Megquier
Paramedic
American Medical Response
West Hartford, CT
https://starsof.life/25megquier

Alexander Megquier is being celebrated for his swift, lifesaving response to a medical emergency involving a dialysis patient. The patient had accidentally opened their fistula and lost a severe amount of blood, leaving them semi-conscious and on the verge of cardiac arrest.

Arriving first on scene, Alexander found the patient covered in blood and immediately put his clinical training into action. With calm precision, he rapidly administered blood products, stabilizing the individual so they could be transported safely to the hospital for advanced care. The patient had lost more than 800 milliliters of blood from the ruptured fistula, yet thanks to Alexander's quick intervention, they survived—and today credit his response with saving their life.

Alexander's skill, dedication, and commitment to patient care reflect the very best of the EMS profession. American Medical Response is proud to recognize Paramedic Alexander Megquier as a Star of Life!
