MEDIC MONDAY | Paramedic Abel Yanez
This week’s Medic Monday spotlight features Paramedic Abel Yanez, assigned to B-Shift!
Yanez has served in EMS for eight years, spending the last four years with Reeves County ESD No. 2. A lifelong resident of El Paso, Texas, he brings years of experience and a strong commitment to patient care to the District.
Outside of EMS, Yanez is looking forward to a pretty important date on the calendar. He is engaged to Yulisa Guerrero, with the big day planned for October 2027! He’s also a proud dog dad to three black Labs, Harley, Ranger, and Diesel.
When it comes to station cooking, Yanez isn’t lacking confidence. He says his coworkers would give his cooking a solid 10/10, especially his sesame ginger baked salmon.
And who on B-Shift could use a few cooking lessons from Yanez?
According to him, Paramedic Heckel could probably benefit the most. 😂 We’ll give Heckel a chance to respond to that one.
On his days off, Yanez enjoys playing golf, spending time with his church’s Men’s ACTS group, listening to his vinyl collection, watching WWE and football, and cheering on his Texas Longhorns.
We asked Yanez what advice he would give someone considering a career in EMS:
“It’s a great career. Learn from the mistakes you make and grow from them. Lean on your support system—your family, your faith, and your colleagues.”
And the best advice he’s ever received?
“Chase the things that capture your heart and not what captured your mind.”
Thank you, Paramedic Yanez, for your dedication to Reeves County ESD No. 2 and for everything you bring to B-Shift and the communities we serve.
Thank you to our community members who joined us and our public safety partners in Reeves County to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice 25 years ago.
