Support EMS by contacting your State Senator! https://bit.ly/44blZue
The state budget deadline is July 1. Tell your Senator to fix funding issues in the budget that are hurting EMS.
EMS agencies across Michigan are asking our Senators to ensure the budget keeps Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for EMS in-line with allowable rates and pays Michigan's EMS providers $6M owed for emergency care provided to the state's prisons.
Sign your name to this letter asking our Senators to support EMS in the state budget. https://bit.ly/44blZue

CALL TO ACTION: Tell Michigan Senators to Fix Issues That Are Hurting EMS!

Two changes are needed in the state budget:
1. Updating budget boilerplate to update Medicaid reimbursement at the allowable rate and ensure that budget boilerplate language keeps the Medicaid rates in line with the respective annual Medicare increases.
2. Allocating funds to finally pay providers for service to Michigan’s prisons in 2023 and 2024 that left nearly $6 million owed to providers by the Michigan Department of Corrections.

Show your support by sending a letter to your Senator. We've made it super easy! Click the link to get started: https://bit.ly/44blZue

The first week of June is CPR and AED awareness week! 🙌💓
You have the ability to save a life if someone goes into cardiac arrest. Hands-Only CPR takes two simple steps:
1. Call 9-1-1
2. Press hard and fast in the center of the victim's chest until first responders arrive. Keep your compressions around 120 beats per minute - the beat of the song "Stayin' Alive."

When a person has a cardiac arrest, their survival depends on immediate CPR from someone around them. Take 90 seconds to learn Hands-Only CPR today!

It is National CPR and AED Awareness Week. With just your hands and quick thinking, you could save a life.

MCA Paramedic Supervisors Joe and Eric paid a visit to Airport High School's Health Science I class to teach about EMS and Community Paramedicine. We love meeting students excited about careers in healthcare!

This week MCA Paramedic Erin Robinson and Frenchtown Township Fire Department FF/Paramedic Tom Hughes were awarded the Monroe County Medical Control Authority Medical Director's Award for exemplary patient care as a result of an out-of-hospital baby delivery they aided with in January.

When Erin and Tom responded to the patient’s 911 call, they found that she was in active labor and began transport to the hospital, but the baby was eager to join the world, and shortly after, a healthy baby boy was born in the back of the ambulance. The delivery took place without any complications, and they were able to resume transport of mom and baby to the hospital, who are both happy and healthy today.

Paramedic Supervisor Eric shared that Erin and Tom’s care and intervention were a “textbook example of how to perform a pre-hospital newborn delivery.” He applauded the team’s work, stating, “This call highlights the excellent skills of our MCA team as well as the strong relationships we have with our community partners. MCA continually works to do its best for our patients and all residents of Monroe County, even the ones that arrive unexpectedly!”

Great work, Erin and Tom! We are very proud to have you serving Monroe County.
