EMSC Day – the History and Future
EMSC Day - the History and Future
Bob Waddell
Robert K. Waddell, II, discusses how his fear of caring for kids inspired him to go into pediatric prehospital care education and training. After the EMSC program recruited his involvement in 1998, he worked with them, additional associations and the government to create EMSC Day, which became official in 2000.
“Organizations, institutions, communities, regions and even states are recognizing that the care of children had been a neglected area for many years,” Waddell says, and “there’s still plenty of work to do to increase it …and it does help the overall foundation of EMS week, of making sure make sure we don’t have any population left behind in our care.”
