However, we may never really know unless the Federal Government begins mandating ambulance safety testing. Paul provides ongoing education to EMS providers in the Grayling and Roscommon areas. Congratulations to all who completed these courses. Last week Jon Wyckoff and Susan Boyd relocated from the hangar to the NF office suite in the old Medical Care Facility building. Stuff can be faxed to 935-5994.

During the second week of May, I was one of 97 paramedics from 36 states who attended the 2000 Stars of Life in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the American Ambulance Association. We were recognized and honored by the AAA sponsors, spouses, Members of Congress, representatives from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, and various other organizations involved with emergency medical services. We began with a group photo taken on the steps of the reflecting pool in front of the U.S. Capitol Building. This was followed by role playing sessions and meetings with U.S. Senators Levin and Abraham and Representative Bart Stupak in their capital hill offices. We discussed industry issues such as Senate Bill 911 and House Bill HR2831, which deals with Medicare EMS funding.
