The New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) has released a package of legislation titled “Rescue EMS” to strengthen local Emergency Medical Services in New York State. With ambulance wait times longer than ever before and a lack of EMS volunteers, NYSAC, along with a coalition of state law makers and advocates designed the legislation to help EMS services emerge from what they are calling “a state of crisis”.
Radio Catskill reporter Marin Scotten is joined by Alex Rau, the EMS and 9-1-1 coordinator for Sullivan County, to discuss the state of local EMS services and whether the “Rescue EMS” legislation put forward by NYSAC will be effective in addressing the challenges faced by the EMS system in Sullivan County.
