Instructor honored for a lifetime of lifesaving

Congratulations to Robert Nappe, advanced life support instructor for Yale New Haven Hospital’s Center for EMS, who received the Connecticut EMS Lifetime Achievement Award.

In his 40-year career, Nappe has been a police officer, paramedic and teacher/trainer in many different disciplines. He also served on a peacekeeping mission in Iraq. Nappe’s advice to other first responders: “Always remember, we do what we do so that others may live.”
