Dear members and friends of KCRSA,

Last week I had the opportunity for a very interesting visit with Dr. Ryan Jacobsen. He is the Medical Director of the Johnson County EMS. I was intrigued to find out that this “Pre-ED” care is becoming a sub-specialty in emergency medicine. We may soon have a fellowship for it in Kansas City. But, let me tell you, your adrenaline just starts coursing with a tour of the communication center for JoCo and the 911 service…

• Connecting people and facilities
• Sharing best practices
• Preparing educators and technologists

As we get further into the holiday season and approach the winter solstice (for those of us retired, this is an excuse to hibernate – or at least increase nap time), this may be a good time in this season of reflection and new beginnings to ask ourselves where are we going with KCRSA? We’ve been at this for several years now. Are we getting anywhere?…
