The Windham Hospital Emergency Department is well stocked and ready for any emergency that comes through the doors. But a recent event also underscored that they are equally ready for any emergency that pulls into the driveway.

At around 5 p.m. on June 28, paramedic Corey Curtis-Gray saw through a window in the paramedic office that a car pulled up just outside the ED, several people got out and all were screaming for help. He ran outside and pulled an elderly woman from the car. She was unconscious, not breathing, and turning blue.
