PENNSYLVANIA EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES ISSUES
STATEWIDE “CODE BLUE” TO INCREASE STAFFING LEVELS
EMS Organizations in Pennsylvania Band Together to Launch First-Ever
Statewide Recruitment Campaign
HARRISBURG, PA – NOVEMBER 14, 2005 - In an attempt to prevent a looming health-care crisis, Pennsylvania’s emergency medical community is for the first time joining forces to launch a statewide recruitment campaign. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) companies throughout Pennsylvania are severely understaffed, some dangerously close to not being able to quickly respond to 9-1-1 calls. Today, EMS leaders from across the state announced that they are banding together to make a direct appeal to Pennsylvanians, asking them to consider EMS as a career choice.
“All of us live our lives with the comfort of knowing that emergency medical attention is just a phone call away,” said Steve Lyle, the executive director of the Emergency Health Services Federation in Harrisburg. “But the truth is Pennsylvania’s EMS industry is rapidly reaching a crisis situation. New recruits are down and the turnover rate of existing professionals in the field is high. If we don’t act now, our ability to quickly and effectively respond to medical emergencies will be in jeopardy. That’s why we are taking action now to drive both recruitment and retention.”
