BOSTON — A longtime Boston EMT who was known for her “true warrior spirit” and “her exceptional strength” has died after a long illness.
Regina Suprin — a lifelong city resident who served with Boston EMS for more than 13 years — has passed away, the agency announced on Tuesday. She was active duty with Boston EMS when she died.
“Throughout her career, EMT Suprin built a reputation as a consummate professional and a steadfast colleague,” Boston EMS posted.
She served in multiple roles — in field operations, in dispatch operations, as a lead field training officer in the academy, and most recently in the electronic patient care reporting (ePCR) office.
“In every assignment, Regina brought unmatched dedication, enthusiasm, and a commitment to excellence that strengthened our department,” Boston EMS wrote.
“A gifted mentor, she helped shape a generation of EMTs and left an impact that will carry forward for years to come,” the agency added.
She was honored with numerous commendations, including the Chief of Department Award for her professionalism and outstanding service.
“Regina will also be remembered for her wicked sense of humor, her kindness, and her exceptional strength — a true warrior spirit,” Boston EMS wrote. “She was a supportive colleague both on and off duty, often cheering on our EMS hockey team and lifting up those around her.
“Even as she faced a long illness, EMT Suprin continued to serve with extraordinary courage, inspiring everyone who knew her,” the agency added. “She is already deeply missed by her Boston EMS family. Our hearts are with all who loved Regina. Rest in peace, EMT Suprin. We’ve got it from here.”
The Boston Public Health Commission wrote, “Thinking of all of our EMS colleagues and holding EMT Suprin’s loved ones in our hearts. Thank you for your service and dedication to our city, EMT Suprin.”
