Support EMS by contacting your State Senator! https://bit.ly/44blZue
The state budget deadline is July 1. Tell your Senator to fix funding issues in the budget that are hurting EMS.
EMS agencies across Michigan are asking our Senators to ensure the budget keeps Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for EMS in-line with allowable rates and pays Michigan's EMS providers $6M owed for emergency care provided to the state's prisons.
Sign your name to this letter asking our Senators to support EMS in the state budget. https://bit.ly/44blZue

Mark Meijer, CEO of Life EMS Ambulance and MAAS Board Treasurer, testified in House Health Policy today. He showed support for bills sponsored by Steve Frisbie - State Representative that would allow for reimbursement for behavioral health transport programs to better serve Michiganders experiencing a mental health crisis.

The first week of June is CPR and AED awareness week! 🙌💓
You have the ability to save a life if someone goes into cardiac arrest. Hands-Only CPR takes two simple steps:
1. Call 9-1-1
2. Press hard and fast in the center of the victim's chest until first responders arrive. Keep your compressions around 120 beats per minute - the beat of the song "Stayin' Alive."

When a person has a cardiac arrest, their survival depends on immediate CPR from someone around them. Take 90 seconds to learn Hands-Only CPR today!

It is National CPR and AED Awareness Week. With just your hands and quick thinking, you could save a life.

💛 Can help deliver a baby when a patient doesn't make it to the hospital in time?!

It's National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week! 🖤💛🖤

911 Dispatchers and Call Takers are called the "first first responder" for a reason. When you call 911 for help, the call taker is responsible for gathering all of the important information responding crews will need to make an informed treatment plan and be well-prepared when they arrive on scene.

All of our Call Takers go through extra training and certification through the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch - IAED, allowing them to set the stage for appropriate patient care before the on-scene first responders even arrive.

Our Dispatch team is a vital part of our patient care and we are thankful for all they do!
