April 8, 2014 – Beverly and Michael Parker, Registered Nurse and Paramedic
As a married couple, Beverly and Michael Parker sometimes cross paths in the workplace, Bev as a Registered Nurse, Mike as a Paramedic. With a passion and desire to help those less fortunate, a colleague told Bev about CMAT’s deployment to Pakistan in 2010 after flooding devastated a significant portion of the country. She was intrigued. She came home and told Mike that she needed to volunteer. His only response, “I need to come with you,” and with that they applied together, and were selected for deployment as part of CMAT’s team 3.
