Make EMS Essential

Pre-Hospital Care is essential. But not by law in a majority of US states! EMSSA's founding cause has been to make EMS a legally designated essential service, which we see as the foundation for all other necessary change in the field of EMS

The 2025 New York State Legislative Agenda includes a bill to Make EMS Essential among other bills that aim to stabilize and support the EMS field!

The governor's 2026 proposed budget also includes a provision to Make EMS Essential. It likewise aims to stabilize the EMS system. It does not include a desired provision to increase Medicaid reimbursement funding. 

 

We wrote a grassroots coalition letter about the budget that you can SIGN!
