Paramedics honored by UPMC with special award for assisting in two recent deliveries
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Eight paramedics were honored for their quick thinking during the recent delivery of two babies.
In late November, the paramedics responded to a 911 call for a baby girl at just 24 weeks old.
This morning, eight paramedics were recognized by UPMC with the "Prehospital Delivery Commendation Award" for their delivery of two baby girls.

The paramedics also assisted in another delivery in early December.
For their service, each paramedic received the Prehospital Delivery Commendation Award and a stork pin.
