Fw: Request More Information on Reciprocity

[Guest guest]

I contacted Bill Hineman (Louisiana's State EMS Director). As below, non-NREMT

personnel seeking to work with the spill relief need to apply for reciprocity

through the area providers, not the state directly.

No direct link I know to contact the local providers for the spill. If I find

something I'll pass it on to listserv.

Bill,

Could you please clarify who your designate will be for accepting

state-certified provider reciprocity requests? The language in the directive

isn't specific, and I couldn't find it on your website.

I'll forward any info you can provide to the Texas EMS Listserv and to Maxie

Bishop at the Texas DSHS.

I'm sure I'm one of many paramedics interesting in helping, and we could use

help funneling into your system. It would also help knowing who to contact from

the major agencies policing the medical effort, so that we can find companies

hiring paramedics and EMTs.

Thanks,

Brad Sattler

Currently Acadian Ambulance is the largest and primary provider of EMS

Personnel for the spill....of course the state office is not a liberty

to promote or recommend a specific company. There are some companies

who have in-house medical person for their employees, but most are

relying on Acadian.... They are the sole EMS Provider for most of the

affected coastline in Louisiana... Acadian has been a key player in the

response since the event started on April 20th.....

For more information about Acadian you can go to
