We are thrilled to announce the recipient of our 2024 Award for Commitment and Excellence in Service (ACES). This prestigious award honors staff who exemplify our five core values, which are the foundation of everything we do.
Congratulations to Tracy Dee, Communications Supervisor for STAT-MD! Tracy received heartfelt nominations from two of her employees, highlighting her exceptional dedication and service. The award was presented to Tracy on Friday, February 28th, while she was impressively multitasking—working a vacant Medical Coordinator shift and training two new medical coordinators.
Tracy’s nomination was filled with praise, including phrases like “above and beyond,” “constantly caring about others,” and “listens with empathy.” These qualities truly embody the spirit of the ACES award.
Please join us in congratulating Tracy for this well-deserved recognition.

February is observed as National Cancer Prevention Month. This month aims to raise awareness about cancer prevention and encourage individuals to take proactive steps to educate and reduce their risks when it comes to cancer.
Nearly 1.9 million people are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States. Unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do about hereditary risks that are not controllable, but there are steps that you can take to better your odds. By attending annual doctor appointments and talking to your doctor about your risk factors, you can learn more about the preventative steps that you would need to take in order to help avoid a cancer diagnosis.
According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 40 percent of all cancer diagnoses can be linked to a preventable cause .While we can’t stop all forms of cancer, we can […]
While February 14th is most known as Valentine’s Day, it’s also the day that we recognize National Donor Day, a day to raise awareness for the life-saving benefits of donation.
Started in 1998, National Donor Day was created by the Saturn Corporation and its partner, the United Auto Workers. It’s supported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as well as many health groups. This day is not only about organ donation, but also the need for tissue, marrow, platelet and blood.
According to the Organ Donation Alliance, every 10 minutes, a new name is added to the national transplant waiting list, consisting of more than 113,000 people, while 22 people die everyday waiting for an organ transplant. In addition, one in seven people entering a hospital require a blood transfusion.
Regardless of age or medical history, anyone can be a donor. […]
Share your feedback in this year’s EMS Trend Survey: What Paramedics Want in 2025 and help shape policies, training and resources for the future. This year’s survey will dial into barriers to physical health and wellness, technology adoption and lights and siren usage, as well as emerging trends, like electric vehicles, AI and alternate response models.
The results will culminate in the What Paramedics Want in 2025 state-of-the-industry report, released during the 2025 Pinnacle EMS Leadership Forum in July.
We invite EMS field providers, supervisors, senior leadership and educators from all service types and response areas to participate and share the survey before it closes on Feb. 14.
Produced by EMS1 and Fitch & Associates, the survey continues the 10-year effort to engage providers to share their voices on what EMS trends, threats and opportunities mean to them.

January is National Blood Donor Month. The first month of the year packs a punch with the impactful reminder of the importance of donating blood. This is normally the time of the year for reduced donations and an increased risk for blood shortages, due to the holidays, cold and flu season, and winter weather.
This national month started more than 50 years ago when President Richard Nixon signed a proclamation declaring January as Blood Donor Month. Donating blood directly saves lives by:
