Greetings Everyone,
The State BEMS has received an application for a course sponsor to upgrade by adding the Paramedic Program to their educational program. Please see the message below:
Application Number: 24-07
Application Type: Upgrade- Paramedic Program
Additional Information:
An application has been received from a course sponsor in your area for an upgrade to become a Paramedic Program. This status would allow them to provide original Paramedic courses to providers in both Erie County and the surrounding communities.
In accordance with the State EMS Code 800.20(a)(3), in addition to determining this sponsor’s capabilities to meet the requirements, the department must also consider the impact this potential sponsorship will have on education in the area. The survey can be found here: https://apps.health.ny.gov/pubpal/builder/survey/course-sponsorship-impact-survey
This survey will remain open for two weeks from when you received your email. To assist us in making this determination, we are requesting your input.
Thank you for your time in this quick survey.
Please take a moment to fill this out. Thank you.
Greetings Everyone,
Beginning tomorrow, June 26th, Elmwood Ave by Kenmore Mercy hospital will be down to one lane. This will likely result in traffic back ups leading up to the facility. Please take note and adjust accordingly. Attached map for your reference.

Greetings Everyone,
We are quickly approaching the deadline for getting the credentialing completed and submitted. Agency Leaders, please make sure that you submit your “membership summary” report by June 30th in order to remain compliant with WREMAC policy. If you are a provider that needs credentialing, please get with your agency leadership to get that completed. Currently, we have only received about 1/3 of the agencies that have submitted for this year. If you are one of those we thank you. Remember, you can submit the report as many times as you like until June 30th, but you should make sure to submit it at least once.
Any questions feel free to contact myself or Karen
Greetings Everyone,
Originally we sent out a map showing the alternate routes related to the recent construction going on near ECMC. It was reported that the map was confusing and less than accurate. Some of the staff at ECMC took the time to clarify this a little bit better, so we wanted to share their efforts. Attached is a better outline of alternate routes to ECMC. Please feel free to download and share with you providers.
