Welcome from the ACEMS Council Chairman
On behalf of the 60+ emergency medical
services in Allegheny County, let me extend a warm
welcome
to each of you. The Allegheny County EMS Council
has a long history of
developing emergency medical services in our county through a multi-disciplinary
group comprised of EMS
 professionals, hospital management and support personnel, resource organizations and
consumers. The Council has served the EMS community well for over 30 years
and during this time we have worked hard to improve patient care and the
pre-hospital delivery system. As with all aspects of healthcare, emergency medical services has undergone many challenges and changes since its' early days in the 1970s. EMTs  and
paramedics have become more
advanced in their treatment regimen and as a result, there remains a stronger and ongoing need for education, human resource
development, equipment and vehicles. Through many Council activities we have made a positive
impact in the care that is delivered to your communities. I have been
honored to be part of this organization for many years and grateful to serve as
its organizational leader at this important time in our Council's history.The Council welcomes involvement from individuals and organizations who wish to lend their expertise in furthering our mission. Ultimately, your involvement, be it emergency medical service, educator, healthcare professional, resource organization or consumer serves an important role in aiding residents and visitors of our County. I ask, is there a more noble cause? Again, welcome to our site and be sure to stop back often. Sincerely,  Robert J. McCaughan, Chairman Allegheny County EMS Council |
