Fire Department Thanks Dr. DeLeo, Linden Tree Family Health Center for EMS Support

To the editor:

This letter has been written on behalf of the Portsmouth Fire Department to express our gratitude to Dr. Julia DeLeo of Linden Tree Family Health Center.

Recently, Dr. DeLeo agreed to become the medical director of the Portsmouth Fire Department’s emergency medical services. The efforts of the medical director allow the Portsmouth Fire Department to properly maintain an inventory of life saving medications on our ambulances. The close proximately of Linden Tree Family Health Center to the Portsmouth Fire Department allows for quick and efficient face to face consultations with the Doctor.

The Portsmouth Fire Department would also like to express our appreciation to the staff of Linden Tree; our frequent and sometimes inconvenient visits to the facility are always met with friendly faces and prompt assistance.

Dr. DeLeo and the staff of Linden Tree Family Center, through their service and assistance to the fire department, have shown a high level of commitment to our community. This cooperative effort between Dr. DeLeo and Portsmouth Fire Department enables the continued high level of medical services that our residents have come to expect. It is the hope of the Portsmouth Fire Department that the residents of Portsmouth join the department in our recognition of Dr. DeLeo’s commitment to our town.
