Attention EMS Providers,

The Hudson-Mohawk and Adirondack-Appalachian Regional EMS Councils are conducting a region-wide assessment of EMS provider recruitment and retention. The information gathered through these surveys will help develop a comprehensive regional recruitment and retention plan to strengthen the EMS workforce.

We encourage all EMS providers within these regions to participate by completing the survey for their respective region. Your input is essential and will help shape future recruitment and retention efforts.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to support this important initiative!

What does resilience really look like when you’ve lived the job from the front line to the front office? 🚑

Join us this Mental Health Awareness Month for a powerful and personal conversation, "Building Resilience: From the Front Line to the Front Office: A Paramedic’s Journey Through Mental Wellness and Leadership."

Date: Thursday, May 7, 2026
Time: 12PM – 1PM
https://mhanys.org/upcoming-events/

Executive Director of Greenport Rescue Squad Aidan O’Connor Jr. will share his firsthand experience navigating the toll of emergency response work, the moment he chose to seek help, and how that decision reshaped not only his well-being, but his leadership as well.

This is more than a webinar. This will be a conversation about changing the culture: where mental health is taken seriously, asking for help is expected, and supporting our teams is non-negotiable.

If you lead, serve, or support others, this conversation matters.
