Seattle, Wash.:  July 16, 2007 – Medic One Foundation, Philips Medical Systems and the Seattle Mariners join together to honor a Seattle paramedic with the “Spirit of Team Play” Award. 

Nominations for the award were submitted by paramedics and firefighters throughout King and South Snohomish counties.  “Norm is very deserving of this award.  He is sincere, modest, committed and compassionate,” said Seattle Assistant Fire Chief A.D. Vickery.   

The presentation of the award will be part of the Seattle Mariners pre-game activities on July 26th (game at 7:05pm) at Safeco Field, as part of a Mariners 2007   home-game program with Philips and the Medic One Foundation.
