I had the opportunity to be a panelist at Jefferson Health’s EMS Seminar along with Regional EMS Director Larry Loose, EMS Physician Ryan Overberger, and Evan Resnikoff of Bucks EMS Chief Association, led by Dr. Wydro of Jefferson Health. We discussed the challenges EMS providers face, the efforts we are putting forth in Harrisburg to help, and what the profession looks like in the future. I was recently appointed co-chair of the Fire and Emergency Services Caucus and will continue to work to find solutions to these challenges. License Plate Helps PA Women Veterans
