EMS and public health. Stronger together.

We connect EMS organizations and public health partners to prevent injury and illness—and make that work easier to put into practice.

Community priorities

Every community has different needs. EMS teams encounter those needs firsthand. The registry is designed to help organizations turn a shared public health question into a topic they can organize, review, and evaluate.

Impacting our local communities

Paramedics and EMTs meet people where they live, work, and experience a crisis. By working with public health and community partners, EMS can help prevent injury and illness before the next emergency. We make those partnerships the center of our work.
