Attendance is limited to approximately 40 participants to encourage meaningful discussion, peer learning, and networking. Please register today if you can attend!

Presented by the Minnesota Ambulance Association in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Health and led by the WGH Group, this 1½-day summit will focus on:

Thanks to grant funding from the Minnesota Department of Health, we're able to offer the reduced Supported Registration rate to make this opportunity accessible to EMS professionals across Minnesota.

If your ambulance service has training, education, or professional development funds available, we encourage you to choose the Sustaining Registration option when possible. Your support helps stretch limited grant funding and allows more EMS professionals and services to participate.
