View Award Description

Rural Emergency Medical Services Training Collaborative: A Public Provider Ambulance Service and four separate Fire Departments collaborating on joint EMS training with other community partners. - The Rural Emergency Medical Services Training Collaborative (REMSTC) has formed to expand our local EMS training and align Mental Health and Substance Abuse education for a rural and isolated part of California. Our training goals are targeted at incentivizing community members into entry level EMS roles, keeping local EMS First Responders’ licensure and certification current while also creating opportunities for career development and advancement. Coast Life Support District (CLSD) is a 911-dispatched bi-county ground ambulance public provider partnering with four separate Fire Districts to form the REMSTC. Currently, there are nine Paramedics, 51 EMTs, 17 First Responders, and 42 Fire Fighters serving the region. Ninety percent of their personnel are volunteer and (67%) of their dispatches are for emergency medical services. The District is located in a remote and mountainous region along the Pacific Ocean with two+ hour transports to regional hospitals. The District is federally designated as “Frontier Area” due to being rural and isolated. Per the 2010 Census Data, the population is estimated to be 5,300 full time residents surging to ~11K many times during the year as it is a popular tourist destination. Fifty nine percent of the population served by CLSD in FY19 were between the ages of 60-99 with the overall median age ~60 years. With a large elderly population, there is an increasing prevalence of chronic disease such as cardiac, respiratory, hypertension, diabetes and dementia. There is a large and growing number of families who speak Spanish at home. There are also two Kashia Bands of Pomo Indians on reservations. A local partner engaged and committed to improving EMS resilience along with Mental Health and Substance Abuse services is Mendonoma Health Alliance (MHA). MHA offers a diversity of prevention-based and harm reduction services to address Opioid and Substance Use Disorders. Additionally, Redwood Coast Medical Services (Federally Qualified Health Center) offers Primary Care, Urgent Care (UC), Dental, and Behavioral Health services. RCMS UC sees over 5,000 patients a year and is a strong EMS partner. REMSTC’s strategy is to: 1) Expand, engage and convene all District EMS agencies in collaborative EMS Training rather than working in silos; 2) Solidify the newly certified EMR/EMT coursework program in the District; and 3) Expand evolving Distant Learning technologies to enable students optimal time management to attend didactic EMS coursework.
