On August 30, 2014 the Sartorelli family, Calgary EMS, Alberta Health Services, the City of Calgary and Province of Alberta lost a great man, someone who consistently put the needs of others ahead of his own, someone who took pride in every interaction he had with every patient, a compassionate practitioner and a passionate educator, a loving father, grandfather and husband. For over 32 years Dave faithfully served the people of Calgary, 20 of those years spent in the downtown core. Dave treated every patient with the utmost respect and dignity, he always put his patients first. Throughout his career Dave was also an educator, a dynamic instructor who was passionate about teaching the Paramedics of tomorrow.

Scholarships will be awarded to students enrolled in their 3rd semester who demonstrate academic achievement (20%), financial need (35%) and have shown compassion to patients and a passion for the profession (45%).
