The mission
of the Emergency Medical Services program in Alaska is
to reduce both the human suffering and economic loss to
society resulting from premature death and disability
due to injuries and sudden illness. The Governor's Alaska
Council on Emergency Medical Services, also known as "ACEMS,"
provides the Commissioner of the Department of Health
and Social Services and the Governor with recommendations
related to all aspects of EMS, including distribution
of funding, and policy development. The Council:
- brings
together technical resources, experience, and knowledge
to assist and advise on the continued development
of the EMS and trauma system in Alaska;
- advises
the state EMS staff and EMS regional directors regarding
public education and generation of broad community
support for the goals of the EMS program;
- provides
recommendations regarding EMS program policy and priorities;
and
- reviews
EMS or EMS-related program proposals on request of
the Commissioner of the Department of Health and Social
Services, the Director of the Division of Public Health,
and Section of Injury Prevention and EMS staff.
ACEMS
was established by Alaska Statute 18.08 and meets two
times a year to take action on issues affecting EMS
in Alaska. |
