We had an amazing talk with Chief John Moon, (ret) of Pittsburgh EMS and Freedom House Ambulance, one of the first paramedics in the United States.
If you don’t know the story of Freedom House, you should. Before Seattle, Miami, and yes, even Squad 51, Freedom House was providing bleeding-edge care to the citizens of the Hill and greater Pittsburgh, in a world where they were not regarded as equals in emergency services or healthcare.
With the guidance of Dr. Peter Safar and Dr. Nancy Caroline, (yes, THAT Dr. Caroline) Freedom House showed that timely EMS intervention contributed to improved outcomes.
