Day two of the U.P. EMS Conference started off with our Director, Elise Bur, having the pleasure of introducing her friend and colleague as the opening speaker, John Barnas, Executive Director of the Michigan Center for Rural Health (MCRH). John shared all the amazing EMS work that MCRH is accomplishing and extended the invitation to attendees to reach out and share their current needs with the intent of identifying how future funding and support might strengthen and expand rural EMS services.

So honored to have joined other experts as a guest panelist for this important conversation last night!

Thank you to the Marquette community for attending our menopause conversation! Today’s theme was one echoed by all of our panelists, “When you’re the primary caretaker of your family, it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. Learn to become vulnerable, create a supportive care team, and let them in! You deserve proper support and care too.”

Another round of thanks to our panelists, our venue host and caterer for the evening, and our statewide sponsors Astellas and Bayer! You can learn more about them below:
