E139: Lancaster EMS-Always on the Job

Host: Carol MacAllister Guests: Jerry Schramm and Allison Connelly, LEMS staff Description: We all depend on and even take for granted Lancaster’s EM Services, but did you know they receive no tax dollars, and Lancaster City is thinking of taking away their yearly contribution to this non-profit service to balance the city budget? That means a cutback on this life-saving service! Membership: OUR memberships provide the bulk of their funding. Imagine what it would be like to have no ambulance when you need it. LEMS also provides different levels of transport as well as training new recruits and providing citizens with CPR training and other first aid tips. These are the people who save our lives before we get to the hospital. Listen, learn, and support this vital community service.
