When Steph Hill was a child, her mother would always tell her to look for the helpers.
“I would see scary things in the news and my mother would say to me, ‘Just look for the helpers… You will always find people who are helping’,” said Hill, assistant director of Lansing Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
However, unless something changes in the near future, Hill said she fears her mother’s words will no longer be true.
“If Lansing EMS does not get more volunteers, there will not always be helpers. We are trying our best with limited people available,” she said.
