Register here: https://bit.ly/40xjvG9 In this Town Hall, we celebrate a true pioneer in EMS whose career reflects the evolution of modern EMS itself: Ronald Stewart, MD, FAEMS (1942-2024). Ron was a founding member of NAEMSP in 1984 and its first president. He began his career in Los Angeles in the early 1970s, serving as the first medical director of the paramedic program and as a medical consultant for the TV show “Emergency!” He then joined the University of Pittsburgh in 1978. Once there, Ron served as the City of Pittsburgh Department of Public Safety Bureau of EMS, developed the Emergency Medicine Residency Program, and founded the Center for Emergency Medicine of Western Pennsylvania to advance emergency care, research and training. Later, Ron returned to his native Nova Scotia where he became Minister of Health for the province and developed a comprehensive EMS system including community paramedicine. Ron was recently given the Companion of the Order of Canada, the country’s highest honor, awarded for exceptional achievement and service to Canada or humanity. Ron’s legacy will continue to inspire and inform EMS advancements for years to come.
