ENA Statement on NEMSAC Advisory Council
“It cannot be understated the vital importance of the relationship between emergency nurses and their EMS counterparts. The critical work performed daily by this front-line alliance is bolstered by long-standing partnerships at the state and federal levels that offer logistical, practical and clinical guidance to ensure the best emergency and acute care is available to all patients in all circumstances.
As ENA continues to monitor developments with the National EMS Advisory Council board, it offers this reminder: The delivery of health care is a non-partisan activity – whether it happens in emergency departments, in ambulances, on medical flights or anywhere else – relied upon by every American.”
- ENA President Ryan Oglesby
