EMS Sustainability Technical Advisory Group NYS 2023 Evidence Based EMS Agenda for Future »»»

After a casual conversation in September of 2021 between Ryan Greenberg-NYS DOH EMS Director and Michael Benenati, Sr. - EMS Administrator for Lagrange Fire District, Michael was asked to attend the October 20, 2021 meeting of the New York State Emergency Medical Services Council (SEMSCO) to make a presentation titled, “EMS in Crisis, A NYS Perspective”. This presentation drew a huge amount of interest and enthusiasm from the group. It was at this time the formation of an EMS Sustainability Technical Advisory Group (TAG) was created and tasked with creating a White Paper.
