We need to stop relying on EMS as the automatic solution for every health and social crisis.

Public education may not be flashy, but it’s the most effective way to reduce demand and keep our crews focused on true emergencies.

Hey EMS — this one’s serious.
A new wave of legislation and audits could cut into our funding big time. Provider taxes? GEMT? Retroactive coverage? It’s all under threat.

That could mean fewer dollars per transport, more unpaid runs, and less money for gear, shifts — and yes, your paycheck. Rural agencies will feel this most.

Do yourself a favor and read up before someone hands you a pay cut (from an already too-low check):
