My name is Charles Ushchak and I’m a EMT with Nelson ambulance. I got into EMS because my father was a volunteer firefighter/EMT with the East Haven Fire Department and I wanted to follow in his footsteps.

However  while I have been working at Nelson I have found a whole new love for the EMS field ! Since the time I was hired in 2020 I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people and build some amazing friendships. Joining the CISM team has allowed me to help my peers in their time of need and that is why I joined the team.

 In my off time I enjoy golfing and camping!
