Summary
The value of EMTs and paramedics in the emergent care of injury and illness is undoubted. The public knows lights, sirens, and help are just a call away. However, the unique position of EMS providers also allows these professionals to work ahead of 9-1-1 requests to stop injury and illness before they occur. In this webinar, Dr. Kevin Munjal will discuss the Mt. Sinai Community Paramedic Program, which protected high-risk seniors by ensuring they received timely and necessary care in the safety of their home during the initial onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic. You will also hear from industry leaders on how EMS has been and continues to be leveraged beyond first response in critical roles of injury and illness prevention.
