Officials from the Lawrence County Emergency Medical Service are calling on community members to engage with their congressional representatives in an effort to bolster emergency medical services nationwide. The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) is advocating for crucial legislation aimed at enhancing the safety, equipment, and responsiveness of EMS, particularly in rural areas where resources can be limited. Residents are encouraged to urge their lawmakers to back initiatives such as Treatment-In-Place and Mobile Integrated Healthcare, as well as to protect funding for EMS and provide grants to support rural and nonprofit emergency medical services.
Getting involved is straightforward and can make a significant impact. Individuals can utilize the NAEMT’s Online Legislative Service, which simplifies the process of contacting Congress. By visiting https://naemt.org/advocacy/online-legislative-service#/ and using the available tools, residents can easily send messages to their representatives advocating for these essential EMS priorities.
Moreover, it is important to rally support within the community. Sharing this information, discussing the importance of EMS, and encouraging friends, neighbors, and local businesses to participate can amplify the message.
Now is the time to demonstrate to Congress the value we place on our emergency medical services. Take a moment to visit the NAEMT Online Legislative Service, send your supportive message, and spread the word. It only takes a few minutes to contribute to a cause that can lead to meaningful change.
