Rural EMS Listening Sessions

The Wisconsin Office of Rural Health held a series of EMS listening sessions in rural areas across the state in October and November of 2018.

The intent was to give a platform for rural EMS providers to describe their work, and the conditions in which they operate. Wisconsin has seen a steady decrease in volunteerism over the last two decades, and municipal budgets are stretched very thin, leading to the closure of several rural services in the last few years. The final portion of each evening was devoted to sharing ideas for solutions that could help rural EMS providers to keep their doors open while providing quality patient care.

State legislators, county and municipal leaders, hospital leadership, and citizens were invited to attend.  But our intent is that the messages from these meetings echo beyond those rooms, to the policymakers that can address the situation.
