Westport Volunteer Emergency Medical Service

At Westport Police / EMS Headquarters, on October 13, 2021, Mr. Larry Kleinman was presented with The President’s Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his volunteer service at Westport Emergency Medical Service. 

The award, presented by the Office of the President of the United States and AmeriCorps (formerly known as the Corporation for National and Community Service), recognizes a lifelong commitment to building a stronger nation through community service. 

“Larry has demonstrated his skills, abilities and compassion in thousands of 911 medical emergency calls. The community and our organization are extremely fortunate to have an exceptional and dedicated individual like Larry Kleinman available and ready to respond to emergencies and provide community education. His logged in volunteer hours vastly exceed the minimum 4,000 hours required for the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award” said Westport Volunteer Emergency Medical Service President Mike Burns. 

In addition to Mr. Kleinman, thirty-two EMS volunteers are to be awarded the 2020 President’s Volunteer Service Award (Gold, Silver, Bronze).
