Rural EMS and cost responsibilities

In an upcoming webinar, Fitch & Associates will explore the significant shift in cost responsibilities from the federal government to state and local authorities, outlining the various challenges and common themes that emerge from this transition.

Register to attend the event on Tuesday, October 15 at 1 p.m. CT.
