In the heart of South Florida lies the City of Miramar, a thriving community celebrated for its diversity, talent, and strong presence of veterans. Among its dedicated residents stands Pamella Reid, a 26-year Miramar resident whose genuine commitment to community service has made her a pillar of local engagement.
In the bustling city of Miramar, where emergency vehicles rush past us daily, few understand the profound impact of EMS workers quite like Pamella Reid. Her story isn’t just another political narrative – it’s a deeply personal account that shapes her vision for the city’s future.
A Sister’s Perspective
When Reid speaks about emergency medical services, her voice carries the weight of personal experience. Her brother, who lives with mental disabilities, has had several encounters with EMS workers that left an indelible mark on her family’s life. “The compassion and professionalism they showed while caring for my brother went beyond just doing their job,” Reid recalls. “They treated him with dignity, understanding, and respect – exactly what everyone deserves in their most vulnerable moments.”
More Than a Campaign Promise
Unlike politicians who appear only for photo opportunities, Reid’s commitment to public service stems from lived experience. Her advocacy for improved mental health resources and emergency response protocols isn’t just a campaign talking point – it’s a mission born from watching EMS workers navigate the delicate balance of medical care and mental health crisis management.
A Vision for Change
If elected, Reid’s plans include:
- Enhancing EMS training for mental health crisis response
- Expanding mental health resources throughout Miramar
- Creating stronger partnerships between emergency services and mental health professionals
- Developing community education programs about mental health awareness
- Implementing improved protocols for handling mental health-related emergencies
Beyond Politics: A Servant’s Heart
What sets Reid apart is her hands-on approach to community service. While others might view public service through the lens of political advancement, Reid sees it through the eyes of a sister who has witnessed both the challenges and triumphs of emergency response systems.
“This isn’t about political photos or empty promises,” Reid emphasizes. “It’s about ensuring that every Miramar resident, regardless of their challenges, receives the care and respect they deserve. Our EMS workers already demonstrate this dedication daily – now it’s time for our city leadership to match their commitment.”

A Personal Mission
“When I see our EMS workers in action,” Reid shares, “I’m reminded of the day they helped my brother. Their professionalism and compassion showed me what public service truly means. It’s not about being seen – it’s about serving others when they need it most.”
The Path Forward
As Miramar continues to grow, Reid’s unique perspective and genuine commitment to service make her stand out as a candidate who understands both the challenges and potential solutions for building a more inclusive community. Her experience isn’t just a story – it’s a blueprint for how city leadership can better serve all residents, especially those with mental disabilities.
