A local EMS director was recognized as a local hero at a state-wide conference on Thursday.
Jimmy Lentz, the EMS director for Cabarrus County, was recognized as a local hero at the North Carolina Association of County Commissionersโ 118th annual conference in Pitt County on Thursday.
Lentz was honored during the First Night Celebration of the three-day conference, where he was recognized alongside other community leaders from across North Carolina as part of the NCACCโs Heroic Hands Initiative.
โYou are the model of a loyal public servant, and your community is truly fortunate to benefit from your service, commitment, and care,โ said Tare Davis, NCACC President and Warren County Commissioner, in a letter recognizing Lentzโs contributions.
The Heroic Hands Initiative was established earlier this year to highlight individuals who contribute to their communities through essential but often overlooked public service roles.
