The unexpected passing late last year of respected EMS medical director Craig Manifold, DO, shook up the EMS community both in his home jurisdiction of San Antonio, Tex., and nationally as well.
On a larger scale the sudden loss of Manifold cast a spotlight on the medical director position and its pivotal role in the provision of emergency medical services. To explore this topic in depth, EMS World recently spoke with E. Stein Bronsky, MD, and Joshua Hartman, MBA, NRP. Bronsky is co-chief medical director for the Colorado Springs Fire Department and AMR in El Paso County, Colo. Hartman is senior vice president of public safety for EMS World and its parent company, HMP Global, and a paramedic with the Chevra Hatzalah Volunteer Ambulance Corps in New York City.

Over the coming months, the group will begin its recruitment, training and fundraising efforts in the hopes of an operational launch date in mid-2021. They’ll serve as a first response squad which will support the efforts of the local 911 EMS ambulance agencies currently serving the city.
