The good folks over at EMS Magazine and Http://www.EMSresponder.com have seen fit to publish some of my EMS type ramblings in print format. It’s an article on Partnering With your Community as an EMS agency and if-I-do-say-so-myself it’s got some useful information in it.

So take a trip on over to have a read at http://emsresponder.com/print/EMS-Magazine/Community-Partnerships/1$13742 

Or, you could go ahead and wait till your magazine arrives in the mail of course… you do subscribe, don’t you?
