At DMRT, we believe that equity is not a luxury, but a necessity. We are proud to have a team that is balanced and inclusive, because we know that this makes us a better emergency rescue service. By valuing equity, we can deliver a high-quality, responsive, and compassionate service that prioritizes the needs of the casualties we help.
Today, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible women who are part of our DMRT family. They bring diverse perspectives, unique skills, and unwavering dedication to our team. We are grateful for their contributions and inspired by their commitment to serving our community.
As we celebrate International Women's Day, let us remember the importance of equity in all areas of our lives. Together, we can build a more just and equitable world for all.
