EMS WEEK 2025
WE CARE. FOR EVERYONE.
Thank you, Governor Tate Reeves for this proclamation recognizing EMS professionals on the ground and in the air. Daily we care for the citizens of MS and it is an honor to do so.
Your support of EMS is appreciated.

Our EMS workers play a vital role in providing lifesaving care to Mississippians — and they stand ready to serve us around the clock.

Proud to proclaim Emergency Medical Services Week in Mississippi.

THANK YOU, EMS teams!

We Care. For Everyone.
EMS Week May 18-24, 2025
It is a special group of healthcare professionals that choose this as a career: from the dispatcher taking a call from someone in distress and giving them CPR instructions over the phone to provide to the person in crisis - to the healthcare clinicians that arrive by your side to provide comfort and care for your injury or illness. A Special Group.
In a state with so many rural counties, MS EMS is often the only healthcare provider in the county.
If you see these EMS first responder professionals or know one, thank them for providing care and choosing this as a career.

Today marks the beginning of EMS week, 2025.
This year’s theme is “We Care. For Everyone.” EMS professionals have been doing this for over 150 years, since the Civil War.

EMS Week recognizes the never-ending commitment, service, and sacrifice that our Nation’s EMS providers put forth every day.

This week, take the time to look around at your colleagues, acknowledge the good work they do, and be thankful for this profession. It is a calling, and it saves lives.

EMS is referenced many times as not being prepared with protocols or able to identify adrenal crisis. Individuals with adrenal insufficiency (AI) are at risk of acute adrenal crisis and death, particularly during illness or trauma, and may require rapid treatment with parenteral glucocorticoid such as hydrocortisone to manage a crisis. Individuals carry an emergency self-injection kit but state having a hard time administering it in a crisis. There is no auto injector at this time.

Does your agency have a protocol for adrenal crisis?

NADF is proud to announce the publication of "People with Adrenal Insufficiency who are in Adrenal Crisis are Frequently Unable to Self-Administer Rescue Injections". Read more here: EndocrinePractice.org/article/S1530-891X(25)00064-3/fulltext. Sponsored by

Medical staff tended to him as he appeared to be conscious and was sitting upright.

Thank you Kevin W. Felsher State Representative District 117 for HB1190. Your bill to create a PTSD and Su***de Prevention Task Force will have a positive impact on MS EMS.
MS EMTs appreciate and value your contributions to making EMS workforce healthier.
Thank you for everything you do for us at the Capitol.

The Week of February 3, 2025

The Mississippi House of Representatives convened at 4:00 PM on Monday, where the Mississippi Board of Nursing honored Representatives Rickey Thompson, Donnie Scoggin, and Becky Currie with a plaque for their legislative contributions.

On Tuesday, February 4, the Biloxi High Student Council visited the Capitol and I had the pleasure of speaking to them on the House floor. Committees faced a key deadline to report general bills and constitutional amendments, though no floor action occurred. Wednesday, February 5th, began floor action and several key pieces of legislation were passed.

HB 809 by Representative Felsher
Will allow children of our active duty military service members and our National Guardsmen to attend the school of their choice under certain provisions.

HB1190 by Representative Felsher
Will create the MS First Responder PTSD and Su***de Prevention Task Force to assess the issues facing our first responders surrounding mental health. In addition we will explore what resources are needed and are available to assist our law enforcement, firefighters, and other first responders. A report will be submitted to the legislature in December of 2025.

HB 1302 by Representative Eure
Was introduced and passed, legalizing mobile sports betting and race book wagering in the state.

HB 1193 by Representative Hood
Prohibits public schools, state-accredited nonpublic schools, and public colleges from implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs or requiring diversity statements in hiring and admissions, was passed.

HB 1435 by Representative Owen
Streamlines Mississippi’s student transfer process by eliminating the requirement for a student’s home district to approve transfers, leaving the decision solely to the receiving district.

A joint resolution was passed to amend the House district map following a federal court ruling on Voting Rights Act violations. The revisions affect House Districts 16, 22, 36, 39, and 41 to ensure compliance while minimizing disruption.

The House will reconvene Monday at 2:00 PM. Have a great weekend and stay safe.
