Building Community Partnerships

By the American College of Emergency Physicians

The EMS Week Planning Guide suggests community organizations with which you can partner to give your efforts the best chance for success. The EMS Week slogan this year makes it clear: EMS is a proud partner in your community.

EMS needs to work with other organizations in the community to leverage resources in tough economic times.

These community organizations need EMS, too, to help them better serve their constituents.

Pick up the phone, stop in for a visit, and shake a few hands to make these community partnerships work for everyone.
