Virginia Beach, VA - Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad (OPVRS) is thrilled to announce that EMT Shelley Drisko has been named Member of the Quarter. OPVRS Deputy Chief Dylan Koch made the announcement at the monthly business meeting on Monday, July 10th.
The Member of the Quarter award acknowledges Shelley for her superior performance and outstanding dedication to the Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad and the community we serve. In addition to exceeding her regular duty requirements, Shelley proudly represented OPVRS at several special events including the Something in the Water festival and the Langley Air Show. Shelley also volunteered to take on more responsibility at the Squad by stepping into the Fleet Assistant role and quickly excelling. In the immediate aftermath of the Great Neck tornado, Shelley was among the many off-duty Ocean Park volunteers who swiftly arrived at the scene to provide aid and assisted with the establishment of a rehabilitation facility for emergency responders working through the night. In the days following the tornado, Shelley volunteered to provide standby medical assistance to the utility workers performing dangerous work while clearing debris from the affected neighborhood. Shelley's positive attitude, team spirit, and steadfast dedication to service represent the highest values of OPVRS. Congratulations, Shelley, and thank you for all you do! The Member of the Quarter is awarded to an OPVRS operational member who demonstrates consistent and outstanding performance of his/her duties above what is normally expected throughout the course of each quarter. Join us as we dedicate the new OPVRS flagpole to Don Anderson and his 40+ years of volunteer service to the Ocean Park Community and the City of Virginia Beach.

They toured the new ambulance and expressed their gratitude to our volunteers. Additionally, Virginia Beach EMS Chief Ed Brazle joined us to welcome the new ambulance home.
