Johnsburg Emergency Squad reports para-medicine efforts, training and grant applications
Summary
A Johnsburg Emergency Squad representative told the board about 48 calls with first responders, use of ALS bags carrying epinephrine and naloxone, an 1115 Medicaid waiver screening program, and local plans for Stop the Bleed and community CPR training.
Joe Connelly updated the Town Board on the Johnsburg Emergency Squad, reporting 48 calls with 48 first responders and describing equipment and programs the squad is pursuing. He said the squad’s ALS bags include epinephrine and naloxone, and that a state 1115 Medicaid waiver program is being used to screen Medicaid recipients. Connelly said Cameron (surname not recorded) would take a lead role in para-medicine work through Healthy Alliance NY and has applied for a Stop the Bleed grant and is planning community CPR and presentations for the Minerva Youth Program.
The report was given during public comment and recorded as an update rather than as an agenda action; no board vote was recorded on the emergency squad’s activities during the meeting.
