Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals from all across Texas come together to promote EMS as a healthcare profession by participating in regulatory processes and by educating our political leaders and legislators about the value of EMS.
We are the Emergency Medical Services Association of Texas (EMSAT) and we believe that we can impact the future of the EMS industry to secure the well being of our communities and our members.
We would love to have you jump on board and join today. Our membership dues are reasonably priced and you can even pay online with a credit card. We need you! We need your ideas and your energy.
We are starting to plan an EMS Day at the Capitol next year;
We want our legislators to understand what we do and what our challenges are;
We want to make EMS a safer career for all EMS personnel;
We want to teach EMS students the importance of being involved in their profession; and
We want our communities to recognize us as dedicated professionals who are worthy of their trust, respect, and support.
We can't do this without you. Step up and help lead the way. Let's move EMS forward Together. Sign up Today!
Attention Members!
New President On Board
EMSAT Board members elected a new president after long-time president Paul Smith completed his term. Ernie Rodriguez, shown here with his children, has been chosen to lead EMSAT into the future. Ernie has over 25 years of EMS experience and presently serves on the leadership team of Austin-Travis County EMS. Board members are looking forward to establishing a new vision and setting a new course for EMSAT. Take a look at Ernie's welcome letter by clicking on "A Letter from the President" on the left menu. short cut link
Paul Smith, shown on right, has been an excellent leader and was instrumental in establishing EMSAT's foundation. Without his efforts EMSAT would not exist today. EMSAT sends many great thanks to Paul Smith for all his work, his leadership, his determination, and his committment.
New Meeting Times
From now on, EMSAT will schedule its meetings to coincide with the GETAC meetings. Start planning now to attend our next meeting in May and meet our new president. Take some time to visit the board pages and send board members ideas about what you think EMSAT should be doing for you.
