Congressman Tom Malinowski, Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, took time out of his schedule this week to visit the Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad, and hear about the services we provide to the communities we serve. Planned by the Town of Clinton Council, after visiting with the Police Department and Clinton Fire Department, Representative Malinowski and his team spent an hour touring our station, learning about our services, and discussing EMS on the National level.
After getting some hands-on time with our new battery operated rescue equipment, and seeing some of our grant-funded equipment, he had the opportunity to learn about Naloxone and how it helps to reverse the effects of opiate overdoses, as well as learned how to administer an Epi-Pen. Some great discussion on funding of both life-saving medications and access to each.
It was also a great time for us to have discussions with the team about medicare and insurance funding of community-based EMS, and the effects that insured individuals and agencies like ours have when insurance does not cover emergency medical care.
We'd like to thank the Congressman and his team, as well as the Town Council members for stopping by and spending some time with us, and learning about our service to the community.
