PAM Working with Manitoba Public Insurance

The Paramedic Association of Manitoba has a number of goals that we are committed to as an organization, only a couple of which include:

• Raising public and political awareness about the role of Paramedics, and
  
• Being active in development and promotion of programs within the community that serve to reduce and/or prevent injury or illness.

In ongoing efforts to fulfill these objectives we have approached representatives of Manitoba Public Insurance with a plan to partner in the development of some safety and injury prevention announcements and messages. Our initial proposal is to work collaboratively with MPI on safety messages that can be placed on our web site and used as promotional materials by EMS services and ourselves at public events.

I'll be meeting with MPI later this week in hopes of working out an agreement that will be beneficial in assisting us to meet these objectives.
