  2. EMS Webinar Planned for March 23, 5:00 pm CST / 6:00 pm EST

Midwest Medical will be hosting periodic webinars for our entire EMS community.  As leaders in the industry, we have identified a collaboration void for field providers, dispatchers, drivers, nurses, supervisors, mechanics, and their agencies.  For the past several weeks we have been hosting internal virtual meetings and have received positive feedback about the collaboration experience from our staff.  Therefore, we have decided to open our forum to the greater EMS community.
