By telling the story of these agencies, the white paper seeks to raise awareness about the difficulties that rural EMS providers encounter in delivering timely and effective care to their communities.
In this comprehensive report, we examine the current state of rural EMS and emphasize the urgent need for policy changes and support to ensure that rural communities receive the same level of care and attention as urban areas. This paper is a call to action for stakeholders, policymakers, and community leaders to address the systemic challenges facing rural EMS agencies and ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of emergency medical services in rural regions.
