When people think of New York, they think NYC. But more than 2/3 of counties in New York are rural and those areas are seeing a growing EMS crisis with longer response times, fewer providers, and systems on the brink. #EMS www.dailygazette.com/cjfund/healt...

One of the most thoughtful pieces I’ve read on EMS provider mental health. The key point: protecting the EMS workforce isn’t just about resilience, it’s a system design and governance issue. A must-read. #EMS #mentalhealth www.linkedin.com/pulse/unengi...

I’ve seen a lot of back-and-forth about this incident. So, what do you think? No one wants to play Monday morning quarterback, but there are real questions to be addressed here. #EMS #ambulance www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The resurgence of measles cases isn’t just about measles. It’s a sign that some of the basics of public health—vaccination coverage, trust in science, and prevention—are starting to slip. Makes me wonder what comes next. #measles #publichealth theconversation.com/we-study-pan...

Lots to unpack here but hopefully this incident will have the City reexamine some of its processes. #EMS #ambulance www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I think the word failure is being nice, I think the more appropriate term here is "irreversible damage to public health" #publichealth

I think every EMS provider has a story about impatient family or bystanders, but moving the ambulance while the medics are inside working is next level #EMS #ambulance www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2...

"For decades, EMS reimbursement has depended on moving the ambulance. TIP flips that model, rewarding clinical judgment over mileage — if payers, protocols and QA can keep up." #EMS www.ems1.com/treat-in-pla...

A permanent EMS funding source is a big step forward. I worry about the county match requirement. The places struggling the most are often the least able to come up with matching dollars. #EMS #funding wchstv.com/news/local/h...

Grateful Pittsburgh EMS is getting new ambulances. But bigger question: why are core emergency services being “rescued” by hospital systems like UPMC? EMS is essential infrastructure and shouldn’t depend on charitable gifts to stay operational. #EMS www.publicsource.org/upmc-gifts-p...

It's always impressive when authors come up with a title that is as eye-catching as the actual article content. #EMS #fatigue www.jems.com/mental-healt...

The short answer is yes, we collectively have forgotten the hard-learned lessons of COVID. #publichealth #COVID www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...

This is what a vaccine-preventable disease looks like when vaccination rates drop — the U.S. is facing its largest measles outbreak in decades, and clinics are overwhelmed #publichealth #vaccineswork www.reuters.com/business/hea...

This is just unacceptable. If we stop naming and prioritizing preparedness, what comes next — denial? neglect? dismantling? #publichealth #preparedness www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Is it time to take the word "emergency" out of emergency medical services? This article seems to advocate for that change and I don't know that I disagree. #EMS www.jems.com/mobile-integ...

"The last 60 years have taken us from funeral homes and MAST pants to capnography, ultrasound, and whole blood. The next 60 will do the same, steady gains, mixed with stubborn struggles" Amazingly solid read about the past, present and future of EMS. #EMS #ambulance www.jems.com/patient-care...

EMS leadership is about bridging the gap between administration and operations. Budgets and policies matter but so does understanding the reality of the street. The best leaders connect the why behind decisions to the work crews do every day. #EMS #leadership www.jems.com/ems-manageme...

EMS system leaders, as well as elected officials, need to understand the "cost of readiness" and how that impacts their budgets and operations. #EMS #funding www.butlereagle.com/20260206/is-...

This article shows how pandemic-era public health leadership is becoming political leadership and what that means for trust, governance, and experience on the campaign trail. These races will be interesting to watch. #publichealth #politics www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I applaud the move but this is a patchwork approach to public health in the US and simply not optimal. Remember - diseases don't recognize borders. #publichealth www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/03/i...

"At least 33 states were below herd immunity in the 2024-25 school year, compared with 28 states before the pandemic in 2018-2019" #measles #publichealth stateline.org/2026/02/02/s...

Is the EMS profession stalled between expectation and reality? Great question! #EMS www.jems.com/ems-manageme...

Although I am a fan of this move, it just makes me wonder about the further fragmentation of public health efforts in the United States and the "every state for itself" potential #publichealth www.abc10.com/article/news...

Is it time to turn off the sirens? A great question for modern day EMS systems and leaders to answer. #EMS #ambulance www.ems1.com/paramedic-su...

Will you be attending the event built specifically for EMS leaders, supervisors, and emerging leaders who want practical insight, meaningful connection, and leadership tools they can take back to their organization? I hope to see you! #EMS #leadership nemsma.org/page/2026NEMSM…

I am beyond happy to see this law has passed but wondering why it took so long. #EMS #paramedic www.lex18.com/news/coverin...

if you think that this will not be impacting you and your family, think again. #publichealth

Very interesting piece about how EMS providers may, at times, have to operate in an area that the author calls "the moral gray zone of Modern EMS". #EMS www.ems1.com/ems-protocol...

What do you think? Should these EMS providers be in danger of losing their licenses for these life-saving actions? #EMS www.wkyt.com/2025/09/24/k...

Is EMS too "stuck in tradition"? Great piece from on how our field still carries relics from its transportation-era roots—even as our role has expanded many times over. #EMS www.jems.com/ems-operatio...

Can you teach situational awareness? Interesting piece from EMS1.com about this important topic #EMS www.ems1.com/safety/can-s...

And once again, ambulance response times are shown to not be as important as once thought. #EMS #Ambulance www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Florida’s anti-vaccine push isn’t just a local issue. The state’s policy creates ripple effects that endanger neighboring states, the entire U.S., and potentially global public health. Simply put, infectious diseases do not respect borders. #PublicHealth www.newscientist.com/article/2495...

I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts about EMS as an essential service with @ukrobl.bsky.social at the 2024 EMS World Expo! #EMS

Great to have the opportunity to speak with you all about such an important topic. #EMS

I think the saddest thing about reading this is that it is all happening in the wake of a world-altering pandemic. #publichealth www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-h...

Yeh, we are totally not ready for the next pandemic but, at this point, who is really surprised by that statement. #publichealth #pandemic nypost.com/2025/09/07/s...

Honolulu’s EMS director went the wrong way on a highway to reach a patient—sparking debate. Without second-guessing, this situation begs the question: how do we weigh urgent response, safety, and community perception when making these split-second decisions? #EMS www.civilbeat.org/2025/09/hono...

Florida says vaccine mandates are over. Measles, mumps, polio… your VIP passes to the Sunshine State are ready. #publichealth #vaccineswork www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

The CDC is the world’s foremost public health agency. Its leadership collapse isn’t just D.C. drama—it’s a direct threat to our preparedness. You don’t sideline the fire department in the middle of fire season. #publichealth www.scientificamerican.com/article/cdc-...

It’s only a quiet collapse… until the next public health emergency. #publichealth #preparedness thehill.com/opinion/heal...

A new national survey shows that 76% of Americans trust their personal physician for health information, compared to only 32% who trust local or state health departments. That gap begs the question: Why? #publichealth #publictrust www.nature.com/articles/s41...

EMS isn’t glamorous—long nights, tough calls, low pay. But nothing matches being the calm in someone’s worst moment. The best “bad” decision you’ll ever make. #EMS www.jems.com/ems-operatio...

Five years after the pandemic hit, COVID-19 still lingers—not seasonal, not mild, and often underestimated. Omicron subvariants spread year-round. Long COVID, repeated infections, and low child vaccination rates remind us: we’re not done yet. #publichealth #COVID www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Mpox is a textbook case of what happens when biological risk collides with political & economic forces—a clear reminder that global health crises are never just about pathogens, but about the systems that respond to them. #publichealth #Mpox www.npr.org/sections/goa...

EMS is not just a transport mechanism—they see the cracks in the system. Too many nursing home 911 calls aren’t emergencies. EMS knows the fixes and ignoring their perspective wastes resources and hurts patients. #EMS #ambulance www.ems1.com/geriatric/we...

"If you're having a medical event, or I'm having a medical event, do you want an ambulance that's older than the Bush administration to pick you up?". Thats a great question. #EMS #ambulance www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

The U.S. pandemic playbook is gone. The White House office that once coordinated biothreat response has been dismantled. We simply can’t afford this level of unpreparedness, all the more so in the aftermath of what we saw during COVID. #publichealth #preparedness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"Unlike police and fire services, which are primarily funded through municipal budgets and taxpayer support, EMS uniquely relies on a reimbursement-based model financed largely through billing patients or their insurers for transport #EMS #funding www.jems.com/ems-manageme...

These type of sign-on bonuses are almost never successful in the long run and, at the same time, they disenfranchise your current employees. #EMS #workforce www.wboc.com/news/kent-co...
