WEST CHESTER, PA — Good Fellowship Ambulance & EMS Training Institute has received the American Heart Association’s 2026 Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Achievement Award, recognizing its performance in treating and transporting patients with heart attacks, strokes, and other time-sensitive cardiovascular emergencies.
The recognition covers evidence-based care delivered by emergency medical services and coordination with hospital partners, with an emphasis on reducing delays between initial patient contact and definitive treatment.
Good Fellowship provides ambulance and EMS services from its West Chester operation at 600 Montgomery Ave. Its clinical program serves patients throughout Chester County.
The organization has maintained the American Heart Association’s standards for cardiac and stroke care since launching its Advanced Life Support program in 2018.
Good Fellowship was also named to the American Heart Association’s Target: Heart Attack Honor Roll. That distinction recognizes EMS agencies that meet performance measures designed to reduce the time between first medical contact and hospital treatment for severe heart attacks using primary percutaneous coronary intervention or thrombolytic therapy.
“Arguably the most important link in the chains of survival for acute stroke and cardiovascular emergencies is emergency medical services and prehospital professionals,” said Kacey Kronenfeld, chair of the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline EMS Taskforce.
The Mission: Lifeline EMS program focuses on systems of care for high-risk medical emergencies, coordinating treatment from the initial 911 call through ambulance transport, hospital care and discharge.
Good Fellowship Executive Director and EMS Chief Chaz Brogan credited the recognition to coordination among the organization’s EMTs, Advanced EMTs, paramedics, and hospital partners.
“This recognition reflects the dedication and professionalism of our EMTs, Advanced EMTs, paramedics, and hospital partners who work together every day to ensure patients receive the highest quality care when every minute counts,” Brogan said.
