Meet Scott Henley, WCCP Base 2

Tell us what you're passionate about.

"My twin girls. Hannah and Haley are identical twins. They are 11 going on 30. haha. I constantly try to be a loving and positive role model to them. I've spent most of my adult life caring for others, complete strangers as that has been my job for the past twenty-one years. I have the pleasure of delivering newborns, but then sometimes ahve to tell a family a loved one has died. I've become very passionate about people, their lifestyles and learning that we all live much differently, we communicate much differently, and probably most importantly, we feel differently. These experiences have undoubtedly shaped who I am over the years."

What is your occupation/profession?

"Paramedic, Deputy Chief, Flight Paramedic I've been in the Emergency Medical Services field since 1996. I was an EMT from 1996-2002 and then became a paramedic in 2002. I'm a certified critical care flight paramedic and fly in helicopters with a crew of a pilot, nurse, and paramedic. The views never get old. We transport patients from hospital to hospital or from a scene to a hospital. I think what's most rewarding about my full time job is that I work in my hometown, Doylestown. I'm the Deputy Chief and Clinical Coordinator and have the pleasure of leading a fine group of EMTs and paramedics. I probably annoy them and drive them nuts but I push them to be the best they can be so that our community gets the best emergency medical care possible."

Have a hobby?

"I enjoy being at the beach, Ocean City, NJ to be exact. There's nothing better than a walk on the boardwalk at night in search of the perfect ice cream cone. I'm an avid Phillies fan, and yep, I realize they are terrible, but there is nothing better than being at Citizens Bank Park for a Sunday afternoon game."

What do you consider your most notable achievements? 

"The first 38 years of my life have been nothing short of awesome, 39 in two weeks, ugh. I had the privilege to travel many places in high school with the West choir and to share many memories with some of our current Watson Creek members. Our trip to Paris to sing at a mass at Notre Dame Cathedral; ACDA conventions in San Diego and Florida, multiple performances at Carnegie Hall in NYC but perhaps my most favorite was the performance of Berlioz's Te Drum at St. John the Divine Cathedral in NYC. I had the opportunity to attend college at Bloomsburg University and obtain my degree in Secondary English Education and teach high school at Hazleton Area High School. It was an awesome feeling to push students to find the best within themselves and watch them grow, however, I found that my true calling was in medicine, which has led me to the paramedic field. I've received numerous life-saving commendations throughout the years as a paramedic and to have the soul that was once dead in my arms present them to me was an absolute honor and amazing feeling."

Do you have a charity suggestion we can keep in mind?

"Any charity having to do with the ever-so challenging cancer research. I've had three family loved-ones pass away from Cancer and am passionate about finding the absolute cure."
