Paramedic Crew Chief Nick Okwiya, who also serves as the Treasurer of FAPP Local 1, and Division Chief Pinchalk were recognized as recipients of the 2025 Community Liver Alliance's "You Make a Difference" Award. Both were nominated by the Allegheny County Health Department for their work on the Pittsburgh EMS program that brings Hepatitis C testing and Hepatitis A vaccinations directly to those most at risk in our communities.
