Breaking EMS News

From the Editor

We've seen some creative ambulance uses lately. A Public Hospitals Authority employee is suspended for allowing an ambulance to be used for a teen’s dramatic prom entrance in the Bahamas.

Join the conversation on LinkedIn about these uses of resources and ambulances.
