"NAEMT has emerged as the collective voice for EMS within the United States, with a focus on the most important aspect of EMS, the provider," says Bruce. "The delivery of EMS requires a lot of giving of oneself, and NAEMT is here to support that provider who gives their time and labor to help another. The key challenges and opportunities that NAEMT and EMS is facing will continue to be how to ensure the EMS provider is protected, fairly compensated and well educated."
