“The attack on health equity doesn’t just threaten lives, it deepens systemic inequities, leaving more families vulnerable to experiencing the same kind of devastating loss”

My Brother’s Keeper | New England Journal of Medicine www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

The DEI committee meeting to a packed room. Doing phenomenal work to advance equity in #EMS workforce and care.

Wish I could capture the energy in this room.

#NAEMSP2025

A phenomenal talk on developing a DEI curriculum for paramedic students. #NAEMSP2025

Bob Holman from DC Fire & EMS:
Everywhere we look, we find care inequities in the care we provide.

Up next: the research question:

Will agency or battalion level equity report cards decrease care inequities?

#NAEMSP2025

Equity in #EMS is not a niche issue. It’s a central issue to care provision in EMS. The HOPE collaborative is 9 EMS systems brining their data together to address care inequities.

Border wall height increases = increased traumatic injury for those seeking #asylum. Healthcare access is difficult. 83% loss-to-follow-up after ortho injury. Not enough docs/space/time/money to provide adequate healthcare. #NAEMSP2025

Dr. Allison E. Berndtson is giving a powerful presentation on traumatic injuries at the US-Mexico border. The increases in length and height of the border wall creates a catastrophe of injuries. I’ve long been an open borders advocate and this only reinforces that stance. #NAEMSP2025

I knew it difficult to seek US #asylum, no idea how hard it is to request/get to appointment! Using CBP app means: have cell phone and internet, download app, fill it out in English/Spanish, use in specific MX areas, show up right time/place. #barriers to legal entry. @naemsp.bsky.social #NAEMSP2025

To say that I have learned about true leadership from @ncemsmd.bsky.social is an understatement.

A true servant leader and unparalleled human being.

Thank you for all you have done for @naemsp.bsky.social and on a personal note, for continually inspiring me.

Our fearless leader @ncemsmd.bsky.social getting the main conference sessions started with a recap of the incredible work done by the chapters and committees at #NAEMSP2025

“The opposite of addiction is connection. One of the hallmarks of dangerous drinking is drinking alone. Amanda L. Humphries MD
#NAEMSP #NAEMSP2025 #Firstwatch #medsky

A diagnosis of mental health does not mean current impairment.

We need to stop penalizing physicians in licensing for mental health which stops them from seeking treatment.

Amanda Humphries giving a phenomenal keynote at #NAEMSP2025.

Congrats to the faculty and directors of the NAEMSP Quality Improvement Workshop with a record number of attendees for their 2-day pre-conference! They work hard to teach #EMS leaders how to improve patient safety, quality of care, & patient outcomes! #NAEMSP2025
