Evergreen Fire/Rescue

Our speaker this Friday will be Annie Dorchak.  Annie is a Paramedic and the EMS Captain that oversees the Community Paramedic program, ECARES, at Evergreen Fire/Rescue. Annie has nearly 38 years of experience in Emergency Medical Services (EMS), the past 18 years with Evergreen Fire/Rescue. Since joining EFR in 2007, Annie has been instrumental in the development and success of the ECARES program. Annie’s contributions have significantly benefited not only EFR but also the Evergreen community as a whole.  The ECARES program fills community and consumer- related gaps in our local health care system and provides education to our residents on how to age in place, stay healthy, prevent falls, avoid unnecessary 911 phone calls, emergency room visits, hospital stays and re-admissions to the hospital.

Annie received her degree in Health Care Administration from Regis University and completed her Masters of Social Work at Metropolitan State University. Annie is compassionate in her ECARES work within the Evergreen Community, striving to keep our residents healthy and safe in their homes.  Annie has 2 adult children, one works locally in early childhood education and the other in the arts in Ireland. When not working Annie enjoys spending time with family, friends and her Great Pyrenees, Yeti.
