The Governor’s Senior Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Advisory Council has an opening for a registered nurse working in the licensed assisted living or residential care facility setting. Members of the council are recommended by Sid Humphries EMS Coordinator with Oregon Department of Human Services and appointed by the Governor. Members serve until the sunsetting of the legislation establishing the council in January of 2027. Once appointed, council members evaluate, propose and recommend pilot projects for EMS in the licensed senior care facility setting. The EMS council made up of members from the licensed care facility industry as well as emergency responders are united in the goal of improving EMS use in licensed care facilities. Utilizing the Quality Care Fund, projects are recommended to Oregon Department of Human Services who award the grants. Innovative projects awarded are tracked by the council to ensure the goal of the best patient outcomes for Oregonians and efficient use of EMS in the licensed care facility setting is being met.
