The volunteer publications ProPublica and The Connecticut Mirror are examining the state’s emergency medical services and what it takes to offer life-saving attention throughout the state. We need your assistance if you work or volunteer for Connecticut’s emergency health services.
Although we are aware that the country’s emergency medical services have been struggling for years, doctors, emergency medical technicians, and emergency health responders continue to work around-the-clock to assist residents in turmoil. Although we have information on emergency answer times, we are aware that it doesn’t fully account for what is happening in the background.
We want to know your background and how you can help a Connecticut ambulance corps, fire department, law enforcement agency, or emergency room accomplish this saving job.
What has changed since you started offering emergency health services? What are the difficulties in hiring or retaining new members of your hospital army if you need more employees? What do you want legislators or citizens of Connecticut knew about the state of emergency medical services?
Your opinion matters and may inform how we are reporting. We want to understand the problem in all its richness, including what it means for your important work every day, from training restrictions to employee housing requirements to budget cuts.
You can use our simple form to tell us about your experience. Every answer is read carefully by our investigators, who may respond with a follow-up. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact ProPublica reporter Cassandra Garibay and Jenna Carlesso of the CT Mirror at ctemergency@propublica .org.
