Yesterday one of our MCA and HVA units were part of the VP motorcade for the commute between DTW and and stops in Monroe County. We have a long history of taking part in motorcade detail when elected officials are in the southeast part of the state, providing a unique opportunity for our crews to participate in.

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

CALL TO ACTION: Tell Michigan Senators to Fix Issues That Are Hurting EMS!

Two changes are needed in the state budget:
1. Updating budget boilerplate to update Medicaid reimbursement at the allowable rate and ensure that budget boilerplate language keeps the Medicaid rates in line with the respective annual Medicare increases.
2. Allocating funds to finally pay providers for service to Michigan’s prisons in 2023 and 2024 that left nearly $6 million owed to providers by the Michigan Department of Corrections.

Show your support by sending a letter to your Senator. We've made it super easy! Click the link to get started: https://bit.ly/44blZue

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.
