At a recent meeting of the National Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council (NEMSAC), seven advisories were finalized and others were drafted. “This meeting was pretty remarkable because so many advisories came to completion after a year and a half of these members’ hard work,” said Vince Robbins, chairman. “These council members began their work in May of 2015, and 19 out of 25 of those seats were new appointees.”
