Ms. Hoyt’s husband, Philip Cammann, a paramedic who also volunteers with the Bridgehampton Fire Department, accepted the award on her behalf.

Violetta Zamorski, the chairwoman of the committee, a longtime volunteer, and a Suffolk County E.M.S. instructor, was also recognized, receiving the Ralph Oswald Distinction for Inspirational Leadership. Southampton Town Councilman Stan Glinka presented proclamations to Ms. Zamorski and for Ms. Hoyt.
