Ensuring a response to 911 - Addressing the paramedic shortage

  • Summary

  • When someone picks up the phone to call 9-1-1, the expectation is first responders will shortly dispatch and be on their way to help during the crisis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, however, staffing at departments across the state saw emergency medical professionals leaving the career or taking jobs elsewhere for a variety of reasons.

    Guest host Mike Kallmeyer speaks with Rep. Brian Baldridge, R-Winchester; Brian Hathaway, president and CEO of Spirit Medical Transport in Greenville; and Eric Burgess, president of the OHIO EMS Chiefs Association; to discuss how new guidelines, training and funding may encourage those interested to join the career field.
