The County of Renfrew is pleased to announce that Michael Nolan, Director of Emergency Services and Chief of the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service, has been recognized nationally for his outstanding contributions to the health sciences field.

The Premier’s Award was presented to Chief Nolan on November 18th during a virtual ceremony to recognize the outstanding contributions made by Ontario college graduates who are working to make important social and economic contributions to Ontario and abroad.

“Since Chief Nolan first stepped into his role as Director of Emergency Services in 2004, he has continually advocated for the importance of advancing paramedicine in an effort to better serve our rural communities,” says Warden Debbie Robinson, “whether it’s through virtual consultations with a physician at RC VTAC or through home visits by community paramedics, Chief Nolan’s dedication to innovation in the paramedicine field is a huge contributor to establishing programs that enable our residents and our most vulnerable populations access to health care in Renfrew County.”

Chief Nolan, who first studied Ambulance and Emergency Care Paramedic at Algonquin College in 1991, has had an impactful and storied career in paramedicine and has been recognized nationally and internationally for his contributions to the field. He has been instrumental in developing and implementing a number of programs in Renfrew County such as RC VTAC, the Community Paramedic home visit program and has been key to the County’s success at navigating and managing the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’m honoured to be selected as this year’s recipient for the Premier’s Award in Health Sciences,” says Nolan, “I’m pleased that the efforts of not only myself, but those of our collective agencies and stakeholders have been recognized through this award, as I wouldn’t be able to be in a position to continue to advance our role as Paramedics without the support of the County and our local health care teams.”

Algonquin College’s Vice President, Advancement, Mark Savenkoff, offered his congratulatory remarks to Chief Nolan as well. “This well-deserved award is further recognition of the contribution of Michael, who was the Algonquin College 2020 Alumni of Distinction Winner,” said Savenkoff. “Michael exemplifies what it means to transform hopes and dreams into lifelong success.”
