LCEMS Urges Residents to Contact Congress

Officials with Lawrence County Emergency Medical Service are urging residents to reach out to congress members to help strengthen EMS across the nation.  The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians is urging congress to support key legislation to ensure that our EMS is safer, better equipped, and more responsive, especially in rural communities.  Ask your representatives to support Treatment-In-Place, Mobile Integrated Healthcare, to protect funding for EMS, and grant support for rural and nonprofit EMS agencies.
