Susan Hludik, Paramedic and Chief of Wells EMS Dies Chris Pare of Wells EMS shared the following with our office today. "It is my sad duty to inform you that Susan Hludik, Paramedic, Director of Wells EMS has died. She passed at her daughter's house on Thursday, May 17, 2012 with her family around her, they report that her passing was peaceful. In mid-April this year, Sue was diagnosed with lung cancer that was determined to be untreatable.
Sue served the Town of Wells as a Paramedic for thirty-two years and as Director of Wells EMS for twenty-one years, she is the only director in Wells EMS's history. It is also reported that she possibly was the first female paramedic in the State of Maine. Sue's legacy of caring for the residents and citizens of Wells is unparalleled, as was her commitment to the employees of Wells EMS, each of whom she considered family.
