Coordinator @downtofifer and team Medical Director Jeff Thurman just wrapped up their talk about our concept of operations- and Wilderness EMS generally- at the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) annual conference in San Diego. Their presentation, entitled "Kentucky's Novel Model for Improving Wilderness Medical Care," covered not only our team's approach to austere medicine, but also the pioneering work of the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services to define Wilderness EMS as a true specialty of prehospital medicine.

We spent the last couple of days in ongoing hoist rescue training with @ky_state_police Aviation/SRT and @wolfecountysar . This partnership gives us yet another tool for helping people who find themselves in trouble in the #redrivergorge.

We've been on the ground in Western Kentucky, embedded with @pocosar2013 to provide responder health protection, K9 care, and rescue medicine. RedSTAR Paramedic @thechiefrtw was featured on @cbsnews, interviewed by @norahodonnell. There are many ways that you can help, too, such as donating to the Team Western Kentucky Fund established by KY state government.
