With the situation facing emergency medical services (EMS) becoming more dire every day, Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) has introduced legislation to create a Pennsylvania Office of EMS Commissioner.

“EMS agencies across the state are struggling to keep their doors open, yet there’s little urgency from the state’s chief executive to address the problems,” Causer said. “A timely EMS response is critical and can mean the difference between life and death for countless patients across the Commonwealth. We can and must do better.”
