Ebola is all over the media but it’s not the only thing to worry about. Enterovirus D68 and the upcoming influenza season are on the radar as well.
Local 167 leadership has been working closely with Allina Health EMS Management to make sure you have the most up to date information, procedures and equipment.

Susan Long, Director of Clinical Services will be the contact person for AHEMS’ response to these emerging diseases. Please check your email and the AKN for additional information.
