EMS1 is pleased to air the first episode of Inside EMS — a podcast where we bring you expert perspective to hot topics, operational and leadership lessons to EMS personnel and leaders to be safe and successful.

The podcast series this week, featuring hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson, discusses the recent outbreak of measles in California and the reality of how hard-hitting deaths of fellow co-workers are in the EMS community. Chris and Kelly also discuss the challenges and use of Narcan by bystanders as well as police officers in their clinical tip section of the podcast.

In their guest interview segment, Chris conducts an interview on Kelly to learn about his background, long-standing career and why he first got involved in EMS. Be sure to tune in next week to listen to Chris’ interview by Kelly.
