For the first time in Parkland Ambulance’s history, both its paramedic crews were staffed entirely by women on Friday.
“To me I don’t find it should be shocking,” Erica Hnidek, one the seven women who were part of the historic first, told paNOW. “I don’t find that we’re in a sexist work environment or, you know, that day and age anymore.”
