The EMS Program staff carries this mission forward through the EMS Program administrator, six regional specialists, an EMS education specialist, the statewide trauma specialist and several administrative support persons.
Children involved in an emergency medical situation deeply touch the hearts of all.
Through the prevention and education incentives of the EMSC Program, a renewed effort of being well prepared to respond to a child in need has focused and sharpened the skills of emergency services providers. The EMS Program is in constant contact with hospitals. As emergency medical services across Nebraska are the safety nets of prehospital care, the hospital is the gateway to definitive health care. Critical Access Hospitals in particular have benefited from the efforts of the Nebraska Health and Human Services System. This higher reimbursement has saved many rural hospitals from having to close their doors.
