EMS PAC
EMS PAC is an advocacy council for all emergency service providers. It is independent of BAWU but highly encouraged.
Mission Statement
The Emergency Medical Services Public Advocacy Council (EMSPAC) is dedicated to advancing the welfare of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), Paramedics, and EMS Officers/Supervisors. We engage in public awareness, hardship response, and advocacy to support all EMS providers.
EMSPAC is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit charitable entity dedicated to supporting the highly difficult work of EMTs and Paramedics. We will support any member of service and their family in times of hardship through the coordination of mutual aid services.
This includes but is not limited to critical stress management, grants and funding support to manage critical incidents, formal and informal peer mentoring, continuing medical education resources, and general advocacy.
Through public awareness, member media training, and regular press engagement we will increase the exposure of positive stories about EMS members in the press. We will coordinate the release of heroic positive calls, newsworthy member activities, and major incidents to the public.

Membership is free. There are no dues or fees associated with your affiliation and involvement. We are an all-active duty EMS, all-volunteer staffed organization.

To assist and advocate for EMS, we track the following type of events: (1) assaults on crews, (2) hardships, (3) deaths of active and retired members of service, and (4) meritorious acts.
