Dynarex honors EMS Captain Jeremy Sonenschein 

MONTVALE, N.J. - Dynarex Corp. is honoring EMS Captain Jeremy Sonenschein, who has devoted more than 30 years to fire, EMS, and emergency management, as the recipient of the 2025 Dynarex EMS First Responder Caring Award (FRCA). The award recognizes EMS professionals whose leadership, compassion and service strengthen emergency medical care and their communities. "Jeremy Sonenschein has spent his career helping others – on the job, in the classroom, and through the many EMS professionals he's mentored," said Dynarex VP of Global Sales Bill Roberts. "At Dynarex, we're proud to honor that kind of dedication and the lasting impact it has on the EMS community and beyond." Shauna Winston, RRT, RCP, of Dynarex presented the award to Sonenschein during the National EMS Awards of Excellence at EMS World Expo 2025 in Indianapolis. Sonenschein, MS, BS, AEMT, began his service at 16 as a volunteer with the American Red Cross in Los Angeles, later serving as a Reserve Firefighter/EMT with the Los Angeles City Fire Department and as a paramedic with the Fire Department of New York, where he responded in the aftermath of 9/11 and deployed for disaster relief following Hurricane Katrina. In 2007, he developed a county-accredited fire and EMS training program at Francis Polytechnic High School in Sun Valley, Calif. The initiative gave at-risk students an opportunity to earn certification as emergency medical responders – opening doors to higher education and careers in health care. Sonenschein also serves as the Nevada Family Advisory Representative to the EMS for Children Advisory Committee, where he advocates for pediatric safety and injury prevention programs.
