“When I first started as an EMS medical director in 2010, I didn’t realize the potential impact the EMS system could have on a community. Fourteen years later, I’m still in awe by the power of collaboration and working with individuals who truly care about their community. The addition of Whole blood to our system in Palm Beach Fire Rescue in July 2022 has saved so many young people who otherwise would have died on scene. I can’t express how much gratitude I have for those in my department who worked tirelessly to make this happen, even when so many people thought it was a crazy idea.”
“I am calling on federal, state and local agencies to help support all communities who want to bring this life saving resource to their residents. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, HHS Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response , U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), The White House, 60 MINUTES, Fox News Media, Axios…let’s do this!“
