Waterbury Ambulance Service, Inc. announced this week that EMT Stacey Currier has received the organization’s Volunteer of The Year award for 2020.

Currier, a 20-plus year member of the squad, logs about 24 or more volunteer hours per week delivering patient care to the WASI coverage area.

“Stacey is a textbook example of a volunteer and we are fortunate to have him on the squad,” said Executive Director Mark Podgwaite. “He is always willing to fill in where and when needed.”

Along with his patient-care duties and driving responsibilities, Currier has stepped up to help staff COVID-19 testing and vaccination clinics run by the service in recent months. He also reportedly is the group’s go-to guy for building repairs that need any form of carpentry.  

Founded in 1971, WASI serves the towns of Waterbury, Duxbury and parts of Moretown from its station on Guptil Road in Waterbury Center, which for months has been the community’s daily COVID-19 testing site.
