Emergency Medical Service (EMS) practitioners from across the country will gather in the nation’s capital to educate congressional leaders about the issues faced by the EMS community and advocate for the passage of key legislation.

“As an organization that works hand-in-hand with EMS providers, we recognize the vital role that they play in the lives of Americans every day,” said Chris Zenthoefer, ICEdot CEO. “We understand the need to educate our nation’s leaders about important issues affecting EMS professionals and we are honored to sponsor and participate in the 2012 EMS on the Hill Day, which will serve to foster congressional awareness and strengthen the voice of the EMS community.”

The two day event will be attended by all sectors of the EMS community with the intent to develop and strengthen relationships with U.S. House and Senate leaders in order to pass legislation affecting EMS practitioners and their patients.
