Celebrating Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Day on May 20th:
How Thirty Minutes Meant the Difference Between Life and Death for One Little Girl By Blair Beggan, Director of Communications http://aams.org/ A half hour may not seem like much time, but life-changing events can happen in thirty minutes. You can complete a successful job interview, celebrate a wedding ceremony, sign the deed on your first house, or even have a baby. But for air medical professionals, thirty minutes can mean the difference between life and death for a patient. And for 20 month-old Lauren Harris, her air medical flight was exactly that. In honor of Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Day taking place on Wednesday, May 20th, we are honoring Lauren by sharing her story, and we celebrate the air medical professionals who helped turn her tragedy into a miracle. February can be a dreaded month for parents everywhere. It brings rise to dreaded colds, snow delays, and lots of antsy kids waiting to get outside and play.
