Recorded August 6, 2025 | 14:00 ET | Free to AAA Members / $200 List

The Rural Health Transformation Program offers a new opportunity to support innovation in healthcare delivery—particularly in rural areas. While the details are still developing, EMS leaders need to be engaged in state-level planning discussions now to help shape what’s next.

This webinar, hosted by the American Ambulance Association, will introduce key concepts and early ideas for how state ambulance associations can begin conversations with state agencies and other potential partners. Speakers will share initial thoughts—not final answers—on how EMS can align with the program and why early involvement is essential to ensure our field isn’t left out of future funding and planning decisions.

• Tristan North, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, American Ambulance Association
• Jamie Pafford-Gresham, President, American Ambulance Association
• Heather Harris, Executive Director, Ambulance Association of Pennsylvania
• Terence Ramotar, Regional Director, American Ambulance Association
