EMS leadership conference
“The true mark you’re going to make as a leader is not about what you do in Washington. It’s about the moments that you choose to take a stand.
It’s the moments you choose to change what’s wrong in your own department, your own ambulance, and your own squad. Choose what your moment will be to rally the people around you. THAT’S HOW WE CHANGE EMS.
Understand the immense opportunities you have before you.
What will be your moment and where will you find it?”

Northern AHEC partnered with Fort Drum Regional Planning Organization and Catskill Hudson AHEC to host the EMS Leadership Conference in Canton, NY in February 2019. EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters came from Champlain to Buffalo, from the Canadian to the Pennsylvania border, to learn about regulations and best practices surrounding EMS services. Whether volunteer, nonprofit or commercial, these entities can be complicated businesses to run, and, until now, there has been little professional development available for EMS officers to learn the ropes and keep up with state and national guidelines.
