Gain research-based insights into complex health issues as experts from University of Illinois deliver forward-thinking, holistic solutions for addressing today's health challenges in the Community Seminar Series offered via Zoom on Wednesdays at noon (CST) March 1 through April 19, 2023. Pick and choose programs based on interest. 

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) can be a complicated system for prehospital care, with many lines of communication needed to care for someone experiencing a medical emergency. Speaking with a first responder or 911 dispatcher can be nerve-wracking, especially during an emergency. In this session of the series, you will learn more about how EMS works, how to advocate for yourself and your loved ones when interacting with 911 dispatchers and first responders, and what information to have ready in case of an emergency. 

CEU's through the Continuing Education Institute of Illinois (CEII) are now available.
