Greetings,
Big Lakes Region please see the email we received this morning from Andy Knoell regarding the Big Lakes Regional EMS Council meeting scheduled for tonight:
Good morning,
In review of the weather update I received this morning with a generalized snowfall starting this afternoon and gusty winds of 40-50mph and great risk of drifting and blowing snow, I am going to postpone tonight’s meeting. I will get a few dates and send them off to the group that best fits our schedule.
Again, tonight’s meeting is postponed.
Stay warm!
Andy

Greetings,
Last week our WREMAC Chair Dr. O’Brien created a memo for publication regarding transports of 9.41,9.45, and 22.09 patients. There were many phone calls and concerns regarding the previous memo in which Dr. O’Brien planned to release a revision to that Memo. Our office held off on publishing the earlier version. Today Dr. O’Brien released the revised memo, and we ask all agencies and providers who came across the earlier version to disregard that version. Below is the memo from Dr. O’Brien, as always feel free to reach out with any questions.
