In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence sits down with returning guest Chief Robbie MacCue of Colonie EMS (New York) to explore the transformative potential of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) federal grant program. Funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, SS4A aims to prevent roadway fatalities and enhance post-crash care. With $5 billion available nationwide and $900 million still on the table for FY25, this conversation is a call to action for EMS agencies across the country. Chief MacCue shares the story of how his department, in collaboration with neighboring EMS and police agencies, secured $2.4 million in SS4A funding for a project focused on innovative vehicle alert systems, prehospital health information exchange and groundwork for whole blood deployment. From demystifying the grant application to defining success metrics and compliance reporting, this episode breaks it all down — turning policy into practice, and complexity into impact. Memorable quotes “I was pretty taken back by the statistic that 40% of these patients were alive when EMS arrived and later died. Those are patients that are talking to us that are no longer living after a crash.” — Robbie MacCue “This isn't free money. It comes with reporting requirements, match funding and responsibility — but there's help out there, and it's absolutely worth it.” — Robbie MacCue “Our goal is to go upstream to the source of the problem. How do we stop the bleeding? How do we stop some of these accidents from actually happening?” — Robbie MacCue “We put a two-page narrative together that generated a $3,000,000 regional application … based on simple principles about statistics.” — Robbie MacCue “Post-crash care is definitely a missing element in the Safe System Approach … and EMS needs to be part of the solution, not just the response.” — Robbie MacCue “You don't have to have all the solutions right away. You just have to have the initiative to get with other like-minded people.” — Robbie MacCue “This project isn't just for crashes. It will also help us with high-utilizer patients and improve reimbursement accuracy by connecting data silos.” — Robbie MacCue “Somebody emailed me in the week to say that the EMS One-Stop podcast is the podcast that's able to turn a very complex EMS topic into a car bumper sticker. So there you go. If we're doing that and we can achieve that, then we're getting somewhere.” — Rob Lawrence Episode timeline 00:00-02:00 – Intro to SS4A and the scale of available funding ($5B) 02:00-04:00 – Why post-crash care matters: 42% of patients alive at EMS arrival die later 04:00-07:00 – How Colonie EMS discovered and approached the SS4A opportunity 07:00-10:00 – Building a regional grant application and tripling the funding 10:00-13:30 – Overview of the proposed project – transponder tech, health information exchange and whole blood 13:30-17:00 – Specific technology being explored and integration challenges 17:00-20:00 – Working with MPOs, consultants and navigating acronyms 20:00-25:00 – Finding the 20% match, leveraging in-kind contributions and funding timelines 25:00-30:00 – Federal reporting requirements and budgeting with SF-424A 30:00-35:00 – The big goal: Closing the outcome data loop and EMS-hospital data sharing 35:00-40:00 – Measuring success, from whole blood to vehicle alerts 40:00-42:30 – Robbie's final advice: “Don't be intimidated — reach out and apply.” ADDITIONAL RESOURCES SS4A Application Portal & Resources: Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program | US Department of Transportation NHTSA's Office of Emergency Medical Services | EMS.gov Lexipol Grants Support Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) database

As Medicaid faces critical changes under the new political landscape, this episode offers valuable insights for healthcare stakeholders to prepare for the uncertainties ahead. Tune in to stay informed about the evolving Medicaid policies affecting EMS agencies nationwide.

The two guards on duty at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) the night Jeffrey Epstein died, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, claimed to have fallen asleep and failed to check on him for several hours, despite being required to conduct routine checks every 30 minutes. Instead, they falsified records to cover up their negligence, leading to widespread speculation about whether their inaction was due to incompetence or something more sinister. Adding to the controversy, the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) report from the scene raised further doubts, as first responders reportedly found Epstein in a condition inconsistent with immediate resuscitation efforts, with rigor mortis already setting in, suggesting he had been dead for longer than officially stated. The conflicting accounts, missing surveillance footage, and the guards' suspicious behavior have fueled theories that Epstein's death was not simply a suicide, but rather a silencing operation orchestrated to protect powerful individuals implicated in his crimes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

These records indicate that Epstein was increasingly distressed, experiencing difficulty sleeping, and expressing fears about his safety within the facility. Despite a prior suicide attempt, he was removed from suicide watch and placed in a regular cell, a decision now scrutinized for its appropriateness. The documents also highlight significant lapses in protocol, including guards failing to perform routine checks and falsifying records to cover their negligence. Additionally, there were reports of malfunctioning surveillance cameras outside Epstein's cell, further complicating the circumstances surrounding his death. These revelations have intensified public skepticism and fueled ongoing debates about the adequacy of the measures taken to prevent Epstein's suicide.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Dr Josh McConkey's new book, Be the Weight Behind the Spear, is about how to fix America. McConkey, a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in North Carolina, believes that the strength of America has always been its people. So his focus is on motivating all Americans to be, what he calls, “the weight behind the spears” of the country's future leaders. For McConkey, an US Air Force Reserve Colonel and physician as well as aspiring Federal politician, America's future depends on this. The alternative, he warns, is increasingly sharp and perhaps even violent generational and political divisions. Dr. (Colonel) Josh McConkey is the proud father of three little Americans. His biggest mission in life is to help shape these children into the future leaders of America with the help of his wife, Elsa. Together, they reside in Apex, North Carolina. They are part of a very tight knit family with both Cuban and Irish heritage. The wonderful aromas that emanate through their house from cooking time-honored, secret Cuban family recipes brings a warmth, love, and security that only tradition can bring.Dr. McConkey has worked clinically as an Emergency Physician for over 20 years. He served in academics as a professor at Duke University from 2013-2014 and as adjunct faculty until 2018. He is Board Certified in Emergency Medicine with the American Board of Emergency Medicine and Fellowship Boarded in Emergency Medical Services (EMS), a subspecialty encompassing subject matter expertise in Disaster Response Medicine, National Incident Management Systems, National Response Framework, and National Disaster Medical Systems.Dr. McConkey has also had the distinct pleasure of consulting on international health policy and development, once meeting with New Zealand's Prime Minister, Helen Clark. He attended the National Security Course at National Defense University, College of International Security Affairs, Fort Lesley J. McNair, in 2017 where his policy discussions with members of Congress encouraged him to put his unique experiences to use in developing healthcare policy.Dr. McConkey currently serves as the commander of the 459th Aeromedical Staging Squadron at Andrews AFB and serves on the Air Force Association Council developing legislative and policy recommendations addressing quality of life, equipment modernization, and military construction issues that affect the Air Force Reserve.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

A tragic case in Atascosa County has led to the arrest of a mother and stepfather after their 12-year-old daughter, Miranda Sipps, died following what authorities describe as a critical delay in seeking medical care for severe injuries. According to the Atascosa County Sheriff's Office, the incident began when 36-year-old Denise Balbaneda called 911 on Monday to request medical assistance for her daughter. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) met Balbaneda en route to the hospital and found Miranda “alive but unconscious.” Despite efforts to save her, the young girl died nearly two hours after arriving at the hospital. Authorities have since revealed that Miranda's injuries were sustained on August 8, four days before her mother sought medical help. During that time, Balbaneda and her husband, 40-year-old Gerald Gonzales, allegedly attempted to treat Miranda's severe condition with home remedies, including smoothies and vitamins, instead of seeking professional medical care. At a news conference, Sheriff David Soward expressed his frustration and disbelief over the couple's actions. “Basically, they thought they could nurse her back to health,” Soward said. “We do not think they wanted the attention that this would draw if the little girl was injured, which is strangely ironic, but that was their line of thinking.” Soward added that the couple likely chose to drive Miranda away from their home while waiting for EMS to avoid having law enforcement respond to their residence. The Sheriff's Office has not yet detailed how Miranda sustained her injuries, and an autopsy report is still pending. However, the charges against Balbaneda and Gonzales are severe. Both have been charged with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury by omission, a first-degree felony. Their bonds have been set at $200,000 each. The investigation also revealed that this was not the first time law enforcement had been called to the home. Sheriff Soward acknowledged that they had responded to previous incidents at the residence, although he did not specify the nature of those calls. Records obtained by local news outlet KSAT indicate that three calls were made to the home within the past year, including two related to marks on a child. The case has raised significant concerns about the welfare of children in similar situations, where parents or guardians may delay or avoid seeking necessary medical care due to fear of legal repercussions or drawing attention to their actions. Sheriff Soward emphasized the importance of promptly seeking medical help when a child is injured, regardless of the circumstances. “This case is a heartbreaking reminder of what can happen when parents don't seek the care their children need,” Soward said. “Miranda might still be with us today if her injuries had been treated sooner.” As the investigation continues, authorities are working to piece together the events that led to Miranda's injuries and to determine whether additional charges may be filed against Balbaneda and Gonzales. The community, meanwhile, is left grappling with the tragic loss of a young life and the disturbing circumstances surrounding her death. Miranda Sipps' death has not only brought grief to those who knew her but also sparked a wider discussion about child welfare and the responsibilities of parents and guardians in ensuring the safety and health of their children. As authorities await the autopsy report, the focus remains on understanding how this tragedy could have been prevented and ensuring that justice is served for Miranda. The charges against Balbaneda and Gonzales underscore the seriousness of neglecting a child's medical needs, and the case will likely serve as a stark warning to others about the devastating consequences of such actions.

With most of the country suffering through a sweltering heat wave, the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services has found the right time to unveil its nationwide Heat and Health Index (HHI). “Conversations on Health Care” learned all about it from Admiral Rachel Levine, M.D., the department's assistant secretary for health. “We are seeing heat-related injury and health impacts globally,” says Levine, particularly in vulnerable populations, such as children, seniors and people who work outside. HHI combines historic temperature data and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) data on heat-related emergency responses from the past three years, as well as data on community characteristics, including pre-existing health conditions, socio-demographic information, and characteristics of the natural and built environment, to provide a final heat and health index ranking by ZIP code. Levine is used to being in the hot seat on a variety of issues, from worries about bird flu to the latest on Long COVID. During June, she helped lead efforts to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride, as the nation's highest-ranking openly transgender official. Hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter, well aware that Levine serves at the president's pleasure, asked her about future plans. She said she would absolutely be willing to go through another intense Senate confirmation process depending on what happens on Election Day. “I firmly believe in the Biden-Harris Administration and the principles they advocate for and represent.”

Why is relying on Emergency Medical Services (EMS) liable to send your bank balance to the morgue? Michael Regilio joins us on Skeptical Sunday to find out! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: Unlike police and fire departments, emergency medical services (EMS) are not deemed essential across most of the US — which means they're often underfunded and struggling to provide adequate care. Insurance policies commonly omit coverage for EMS-provided ambulance rides, making them cost-prohibitive for the people who often need them the most. Even the EMTs who staff EMS outfits are underpaid and can't usually afford to make use of them without going into the red. Who profits from the status quo of the broken EMS system, and why is it so hard to enact the reforms necessary to have providers declared essential? What can we do to educate and advocate for the overhauls necessary to make EMS viable for everyone? Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Deepthy Varghese, MSN, ACNP, FNP, of Northside Hospital, is joined by guests Sheldon Cheskes MD, CCFP (EM), FCFP, Sunnybrook Research Institute, and Jason Grady, NRP of Northside Hospital to discuss the Association Between Number of Volunteer Responders and Interventions Before Ambulance Arrival for Cardiac Arrest. The study aimed to explore the relationship between the number of volunteer responders (VRs) arriving before Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the likelihood of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). The researchers analyzed OHCAs in two regions of Denmark and categorized them based on the arrival of VRs before EMS, with groups having 0, 1, 2, or 3 or more VRs. Using logistic regression adjusted for EMS response time, the study found that an increasing number of VRs arriving before EMS was associated with higher odds of bystander CPR and defibrillation. Specifically, the odds ratios (ORs) for bystander CPR and defibrillation increased as more VRs arrived before EMS, indicating a positive trend in the association. The study concluded that the presence of one or more VRs before EMS was linked to an increase in bystander CPR and defibrillation, with a notable trend towards increased defibrillation as the number of VRs increased. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2022.11.047 Host Disclosure(s): D.

The chain of survival for a cardiac emergency and stroke start the same:1. preparedness & recognition of an emergency;2. activation of EMS; 3. delivery of Advanced Life Support; and 4. transporting to the most appropriate facility. Depending on where you live, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) may provide prehospital Advanced Life Support (ALS). ALS ambulances are staffed with paramedics who have training in ACLS skills. Paramedics can perform an assessment, obtain a medical history, and provide life-saving care within minutes of recognition. Why EMS "Destination Protocols" for suspected stroke and STEMI make a difference. ACLS's timed benchmarks for:point of first medical contact to PCI for ST elevation MI; door to tPA for ischemic stroke; and onset of symptoms to EVT for LVO strokes.EMS may bypass a close hospital to transport a STEMI or suspected stroke patient to a hospital capable of 24/7 PCI or a certified stroke center; because time is heart muscle or brain cells.Check out the Pod Resource page at passacls.com for links to the "EMS On Air" podcast for links to episodes that look at EMS's role in stroke outcomes in the rural vs urban area.**American Cancer Society (ACS) Fundraiser This is the fifth year that I'm participating in Men Wear Pink to increase breast cancer awareness and raise money for the American Cancer Society's life-saving mission.I hope you'll consider contributing.Every donation makes a difference in the fight against breast cancer!

On today's episode, Dennis is joined by Survivor, Mark Priebe. Mark joined the police force at the age of 21 and considers his work in law enforcement a calling. Hoping to make a difference, Mark graduated the police academy and started serving the community of Aurora, Missouri. There, he met his future wife, Heather, who was working at St. John Hospital in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Wanting to be at a larger agency with more advancement opportunities, Mark moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he completed the requirements to become a patrol officer. From there, he supported numerous departments to include patrol, the traffic unit and community services. Springfield is also where Mark and Heather got married and started their family. On June 9, 2020, while on duty in the police headquarters, Mark responded to a disturbance in the front of the building. While assessing the situation with his Sergeant, Mark was intentionally run over by the suspect who set out to ‘run over a cop' that day. “He texted a friend that morning with his plan,” said Mark. “He pulled into the parking lot, turned his wheels toward me and accelerated, striking me, and dragging me underneath the vehicle.” Due to the vehicular assault, Mark sustained severe road rash, multiple rib fractures, and a broken back that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Today, Mark shares his unbelievable story of the events that unfolded, his recover, how it effected him and his family, advice for people in a bad place mentally, the support the community showed and strength of family.

Jonathon Feit interviews Joshua Parish, Deputy Chief of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Milwaukee Fire Dept.Deputy Chief Joshua Parish of the Milwaukee (WI) Fire Department checks multiple "diversity" boxes as a Black man in an overwhelmingly white industry, who has risen through the ranks as an unabashed iconoclast.He has a master's degree from the venerable London School of Economics in an industry that is torn about the fundamental question of whether post-high school education should be considered a "must have."He is passionate about honing a worldly perspective and loves losing himself in new locales with no choice but to adapt and seek empathy.It turns out, this same blend of characteristics makes for an excellent medic, because in the real world, biology and chemistry often come secondary to psychology and sociology: understanding human nature.Following a deep-dive into his origin story, Chief Parish discusses strategies for turning "samurai swords" into "Gerber tools" when training team members – evolving from experts in a single function to team members who can flex as a community's needs evolve – as a way of "future-proofing ourselves." Also: Ensuring that mobile medical personnel, in management and on the line alike, reflect -- and embrace -- the mosaic of the communities in which they operate is "good for business" when it comes to recruiting high-potential candidates.It helps when, say, convincing citizens to stay inside and wear a mask; or to manage diabetes both as a matter of self-care and as a way to show appreciation for their caregivers.Perhaps most poignant, he reminds us that we need to talk about failures if we are going to learn from them.In this timely, no-holds-barred interview, Chief Parish explains his approach to language and culture, to relationship-building, and to research (including the need for additional rigor) – these have swirled into a strange brew against the backdrop of the COVID-19 crisis, particularly in Wisconsin, where racial and socioeconomic tensions followed a shooting during protests in nearby Kenosha.

This week on Answering the Call - The First Responder Podcast, Jersey Ed & the Podfather Mike Mikes welcome Jeff Dill to the show. Jeff is the Founder, CEO, and instructor at the Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance. A little about our guest today! “In 2009, founder Jeff Dill, organized Counseling Services for Fire Fighters. CSFF was established based on the tragic events that surrounded Hurricane Katrina. When speaking with firefighters who returned after serving the community of New Orleans, he heard the pleas of firefighters who had a difficult time talking with counselors who did not have any firefighting experience. They became frustrated and never did seek the help they needed. It was CSFF mission to offer behavioral health workshops to support firefighters, train senior officers and educate clinicians on the benefits of understanding the life and emotions of firefighters. On 12/31/14, CSFF donated all of their intellectual property to FBHA. In 2011, Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance was organized based on the decreasing funds available for training at the Fire Department level and the staggering number of firefighter suicides. FBHA was established to directly educate firefighters/ Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel and their families about behavioral health issues such as depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety and addictions, as well as firefighter suicides. Through businesses, community support and sponsorships, it is our hope that the workshops and services will be offered at low cost or no charge to those in need. Jeff holds a Master’s degree and is a Licensed Counselor. He is a retired Captain from Palatine Rural Fire Protection District in Inverness, Illinois and is a member of the American Counseling Association and National Board of Certified Counselors. Jeff Dill, and those working with FBHA, are dedicated to educating firefighters and emergency service personnel on the importance of behavioral health and suicide awareness.” Podcast Pick of the Week: Rock Bottom 2 Recovery PodcastHosted by a Corrections Officer in Rock Bottom 2 Recovery is a podcast in support of open discussion and respectfully sharing of ideas and inspiration about all forms of recovery from addiction.  -- Genesis House and the Friends in Recovery Podcast are proud to bring you Answering the Call – The First Responder Podcast .

In this episode, I interview Cooper Scherr and Kennedy Sundberg, the former and current directors of Santa Clara’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) organization. Each member is a certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). EMT’s are the first responders to on-campus emergencies, and can provide stabilizing medical care to patients. Several members of the EMS “squad” are on duty each night from 5pm to 8am to respond to any emergencies. The organization is almost entirely student-run, and provides excellent medial training for a range of students interested in many fields of health and medicine.Cooper Scherr is a graduating senior history major, and Kennedy Sundberg is a junior biology major and the current director of EMS. In this episode, you’ll hear how Cooper and Kennedy found the squad, what non-medical people can learn from their experience, and how becoming an EMT has shaped their college experience.

Join the well respected Blogger, Educator, and EMS Provider Amy Eisenhauer and I as we discuss the societal perceptions of substance abuse and mental health in the EMS world. Amy Eisenhauer is a dynamic presenter at Emergency Medical Services (EMS) conferences nationwide, raising awareness on topics such as provider suicide, response to hoarding events, and career development for EMS professionals. As a Certified Emergency Medical Technician, she has served the New Jersey Emergency Medical Services community as a volunteer and career provider since 1995.

On todays podcast, we will be talking with Brooke Namboodri and we have Tim Platts-Mills from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill about their new article in the Journal of American Geriatric Society (JAGS) on "Elder abuse identification in the prehospital setting, an examination of state EMS protocols." We talk with Brooke and Tim about the state of EMS protocols in the US and how often the mention elder abuse in them (spoiler alert: not very often), how this compares to mentions of child abuse, the role EMS should play in elder abuse identification and management, and the role of potential screening tools for elder abuse.

America is the best country in the world. “Proud to be an American” is more than a catchy slogan. It's our way of life. If you or someone you love serves our country in the armed forces, you get my instant respect and gratitude. No discussion or debate required. And here's the best part: I believe most Americans share this viewpoint. Most Americans respect and appreciate those who serve now, and those who served our country in the past. Why NFL Stars Should Get Off Their Knees Why should National Football League (NFL) players get off their knees and stand for the national anthem? Because standing is about respect. Standing for the national anthem is about showing respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives for this country. It's really that simple. Stand to show respect. NFL players who kneel before football games do so to draw attention to racism in America. But they disrespect everyone who ever served in uniform by doing so. NFL players don't see it that way, because they don't really see anything through the same lens as regular people. NFL players believe in their cause and believe it's their right to kneel if they choose. And you know what? They're absolutely right. It is their right to kneel. The constitution and first amendment guarantees this right to every American. The irony is the service men and women who died to give them this right — is the group they're disrespecting the most, by kneeling. That's the rub, or at least part of it. The bigger rub is how NFL players are completely out of touch with average Americans. How NFL players believe their opinions are somehow more valuable than the average American's opinion. Newsflash: the average American thinks football players should stick to playing football. The average American thinks NFL players are overpaid and out of touch with reality. The average American thinks kneeling during the national anthem (for almost any reason) is unpatriotic. But none of that explains why kneeling during the national anthem is stupid. Why Kneeling is Stupid Is shining a spotlight on racism important? Yes, of course. But bringing attention to racism by disrespecting every American who ever served or died for our country, is a stupid way to do it. But don't take my word for it. How do you know kneeling during the national anthem is a stupid way to draw attention to racism? Easy answer. The NFL already proved it. Colin Kaepernick, a free agent quarterback famous for kneeling before football games, can no longer find work in the NFL. Why can't Colin Kaepernick find work? Why won't an NFL team hire him? The answer has nothing to do with Colin's skills as a quarterback. The answer is that Colin Kaepernick is damaged goods. No team will take him because of all the bad publicity that comes with hiring him. The Cleveland Browns also proved how stupid it is to kneel during the national anthem. You can read how Paramedic and Police unions boycotted the Cleveland Browns opener for kneeling during the national anthem. Watch the NFL Take a Stand This Week If you're bothered by all of this, stand-by for a little poetic justice to come your way this week. The Pittsburgh Steelers forced the issue center stage. The entire Pittsburgh Steelers team, except for Alejandro Villanueva, ex-Army Ranger, stayed in the locker room for the national anthem before their game with Chicago. The backlash was quick and severe. The American public is irritated and threatening to boycott the NFL. Now the NFL commissioner and team owners really have no choice but to start talking about the issue publicly. Even the president commented about the owner's lack of control over the situation. Stand-by to see the NFL commissioner and team owners ‘patriotism' shine through like no other week this season. Now that their revenue is threatened, you'll see a whole new appreciation for those who served. Why EMS Stands for The Flag It's easy for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to stand for the flag. Why? Because EMSers are patriots. EMSers live in the real world. EMSers work hard for a lot less money and appreciation than the average NFL player. But those aren't the only reasons. EMSers identify with our service men and women. EMS is different than serving in the military, but it is about service. Service is the bond the two communities share. It's time for NFL players to stand with EMS and their fellow Americans. It's time to give respect to those who made the ultimate sacrifice and paid for our freedoms and privileges with their lives. What do you think? Should NFL players stand for the national anthem? Is it disrespectful not to stand? Leave a comment below. It's important and we appreciate your input.
