The Senate resolution honors Steven Strom for receiving the prestigious 2025 Star of Life Award from the Minnesota Ambulance Association, which recognizes outstanding contributions in the emergency medical services (EMS) field. Established in 1960, the Minnesota Ambulance Association aims to promote excellence in the ambulance industry and created the Star of Life Award to acknowledge individuals who demonstrate exceptional dedication to patient care, mentorship, and the overall EMS system. In his nearly two years as an emergency medical technician with Mayo Clinic Ambulance Service, Steven has exemplified these qualities, notably reuniting a patient with their spouse during a critical time.

The resolution highlights Steven's commitment to prioritizing patients' needs, his reliability as a team member, and his empathetic approach to care. It also notes his family's tradition of public service, with his father in law enforcement and his sister as a 911 dispatcher. In addition to his professional achievements, the resolution mentions Steven's personal interests, including outdoor activities, movies, traveling, and video games. The Senate congratulates him on this significant recognition and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare an official copy of the resolution for him.
