Bill Would Create EMS Commissioner
State Representative Marty Causer has introduced legislation to create the Office of the State Director of Emergency Medical Services within the Department of Health.
"We have a police commissioner in Pennsylvania. We have a fire commissioner, but there is no EMS commissioner," Causer says. "I think this is an important piece of legislation to enhance our emergency medical services. Causer has been an EMS volunteer for many years and says the system is good, but could be better. "An elevated EMS office will allow us to give more attention to EMS issues and better coordinate EMS services across the Commonwealth," he says. The bill has 49 co-sponsors and was referred to the House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee for consideration
