by the National Association of EMS
Physicians and the National

to provide a voice for the EMS
community in Washington policy
discussions. In a short
two-year time frame, AEMS has
grown into an organization with
over 50 corporate, organizational
and individual members and has
succeeded in establishing
relationships with members of
Congress and staff on Capitol
Hill. In addition, AEMS has also
worked to establish relationships
within the various agencies that
have jurisdiction over EMS issues,
including the National Highway
Transportation Safety
Administration through Department
of Transportation, Department of
Health and Human Services and the
Department of Homeland Security
bringing to light many of the
issues surrounding EMS.
