Dear EMS Participants,
May 26, 2016
On behalf of the Broward Regional Emergency Medical (EMS) Council and community, I
would like to welcome all of you attending this Twentieth Anniversary of the "First There First Care" Emergency Medical Services Conference in Broward County. Every day in
Broward County, you are often "First There" to provide "First Care" to citizens and visitors
who are sick or injured. For that, you deserve the sincere praises of the Broward County
Community.
The conference program this year is really “over the top!” Leading professionals in
emergency medicine from around the United States, part of an elite group called “The
Eagles,” will soar to new heights schooling you - the first level of patient care - in new and
different methodologies of treatment. As an added bonus, a very special guest has been
invited as the keynote speaker – Randolph “Randy” Mantooth, actor and star of the 1970’s hit
television series “Emergency.” Mr. Mantooth will also be in attendance to sign autographs for
those who gained interest in EMS after watching this program!
The Achievement Awards presented during the conference are a wonderful way to recognize
those who have provided exemplary service delivering pre-hospital emergency medical care:
making Broward County a leader in emergency medical care in Florida.
The conference planning committee, comprised of persons from each component of
emergency medical care in Broward County, has once again accomplished its task in
developing the best educational conference program for this, its 20th anniversary. Enjoy this
wonderful event; and I look forward to seeing all of you at the 21st anniversary, May 2017.
Best regards,
Ralph A. Marrinson, Chair
Broward Regional EMS Council

On behalf of the Fire Chiefs’ Association of Broward County (FCABC), it gives me great
pleasure to welcome you to the 20th Anniversary-First There, First Care Conference
and Chief Michael Haygood Advanced Life Support EMS Competition. I commend each
and every one of you for attending and taking this opportunity to advance your
education.
Each year, our emergency medical services face new and more challenging s i t u at i o n s
which mandate our skills remain sharp, focused and innovative. This year’s lineup of
speakers includes our special guest; Randolph Mantooth, actor and star of the 1970’s
hit television series “Emergency”. He is joined by several prominent and renowned
emergency medical physicians and conference speakers from across the country.
As we are all aware the first and only contact your agency or department may ever have
with a citizen or someone’s family member is you. Therefore, it is imperative to always
deliver the highest level of competent and compassionate customer care. Your presence
here today is indicative of a personal commitment to that goal.
I want to thank the EMS conference committee for their many dedicated hours of work
organizing this conference. The committee has done another terrific job putting together
an outstanding and innovative program for us to enjoy.
Please accept my thanks on behalf of the Fire Chiefs' Association membership in
Broward County. Enjoy the conference and remember the impacts you make each a n d
every day really do matter!
Fraternally,
Donald DiPetrillo, Fire Chief

of Those We Touch
At Memorial, we believe it is our privilege to care for our patients and their families. Our very
mission — to heal the body, mind and spirit of those we touch — places patients and families at
the heart of everything we do.
Count on our clinical expertise and on our commitment to deliver the smarter, safer, quality
healthcare you and your family deserve — with the exceptional patient- and family-centered care
you’ve come to expect from Memorial. Caring for you is not just our job; it’s why we do what we do.
