Even as she faced a long illness, EMT Suprin continued to serve with extraordinary courage, inspiring everyone who knew her. She is already deeply missed by her Boston EMS family. Our hearts are with all who loved Regina.

Rest in peace, EMT Suprin. We’ve got it from here.

Regina will also be remembered for her wicked sense of humor, her kindness, and her exceptional strength — a true warrior spirit. She was a supportive colleague both on and off duty, often cheering on our EMS hockey team and lifting up those around her.

A gifted mentor, she helped shape a generation of EMTs and left an impact that will carry forward for years to come. Her contributions were recognized with numerous commendations, including the 2024 Chief of Department Award for her professionalism and outstanding service.

She served in multiple roles — in Field Ops, in Dispatch Ops, as a lead Field Training Officer in the Academy, and most recently in the ePCR Office at Headquarters. In every assignment, Regina brought unmatched dedication, enthusiasm, and a commitment to excellence that strengthened our department.

In the coming weeks, they’ll complete additional training as they transition into their new roles. We wish them continued success and thank them for their dedication to our department and the City of Boston.

A formal promotional ceremony will be held this spring. Congratulations, Lieutenants!

Over the next six months, they’ll develop the essential skills, knowledge, and experience required to serve as Emergency Medical Technicians. (2/2)

Over the coming months, they’ll learn department policies, master equipment, and sharpen the clinical skills needed to deliver high-quality emergency medical care to the people of Boston.

Their goal: to verify that every resource required for critical, life-saving care is ready to go, performing preventive maintenance and replacement, as needed. Thank you to the dedicated professionals behind-the-scenes who keep our EMTs and Paramedics equipped to serve Boston safely and effectively.

The group then visited our Special Operations Division for an up-close look at the equipment and resources we use to support medical coverage, logistics, and coordination during special events and mass casualty incidents.

To all first responders across our City, we are proud to stand alongside you and thank you for your unwavering commitment and service. Boston is stronger and safer because of you.

Congratulations to Academy Class 2025-1 and to our newly promoted leaders. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and service to the City of Boston.

We also recognized seven outstanding members of our department for their well-earned promotions: two to Superintendent and five to Deputy Superintendent, representing a combined 175 years of EMS experience.
