Congratulations to NAEMSP, NC Chapter of NAEMSP - NC Congressman Richard Hudson for introducing the “Modernizing EMS Delivery and Sustainability (“MEDS”) Act (H.R. 3443) in the US House this week!

Personally, I don’t think time to hospital is a factor if the patient already presents with significant vital sign change.

I did make the map with a map tool. You would need a GIS tool that could incorporate a table of times. They are some free ones out there like QGis. .
