?? Meet our Team: Retired Battalion Chief Tom Crewse, CADC I knows a thing or two about training and serving his peers at the firehouse. Today, he still equips them, it just looks a little different. ?? We are thankful to have Tom serve with us and all of the valuable insights he brings to our team and our clients. #meetourteam #firstresponderwellness #tomcrewse #fireservice #battalionchief #video #publicsafety

I had the opportunity to connect for discussions and planning with Jillian Barrett and Nancy Panza with First Responder Wellness to continue our planning for some really exciting ideas and an expanded partnership with the Arizona Department of Public Safety and our Arizona Highway Patrol Troopers and professional staff. We love working with this team and appreciate the passion, expertise, and care they bring to our profession and partnership. #azdps #arizonahighwaypatrol #statetrooper #coremissionandpeople #courteousvigilance #leadership #wellness #culture #bestteamever #health #employeewellness Jennifer Borquez Cary Jones Dreamlyn Williams, MPA Ezekiel Zesiger Chris Hemmen Michelle Leonard
