The Wisconsin State Assembly will be recognizing Hilbert/Potter First Responder President Doug Schoen as a “Hometown Hero” at the upcoming Assembly session.
Schoen, who was nominated by Assemblyman Paul Tittl of Manitowoc, has spent the last 21 years volunteering and saving lives with his local EMS unit.
Back in 1999, Schoen successfully lobbied his local community to create the Hilbert/Potter First Responder Group.
This organization provides care to those in emergency medical situations.
Its success can be traced to Schoen who, even while working full-time and raising a family, still has found extra hours to give to the group.
Schoen has served as the group’s president for 18 of its 21 years and has responded to nearly 90% of all calls the force has gotten.
Schoen will be honored on January 20th at the State Capitol.
