Does calling EMS “essential” actually guarantee that EMS will be there when someone calls 911?
Not necessarily.
Some states recognize EMS as essential without requiring local governments to ensure the service is available. Others establish a clear responsibility for providing access to EMS.
And even when responsibility exists, another important question remains: How will that service be sustainably funded?
That's why understanding the language behind your state's essential-service designation matters.
PWW|AG's state-by-state review looks beyond the label to examine what these laws actually require.

"A great doctor leaves behind a legacy not measured in years, but in the countless heartbeats they restored, comforted, and saved." — Unknown

Today the world grew a little less bright with the passing of an amazing man.

Dr. James "Jim" D. Upchurch was an inspiration to many and left a lasting legacy in all those that he met, inspired, taught, treated, and became life long friends with.

Dr. Upchurch served as the Big Horn County EMS medical director for 36 years before he retired from medicine.

Dr. Upchurch held the incomparable role of being the captain at the helm, leading this incredible group of pre-hospital professionals, encouraging us, educating us, and raising the expectations of achievement- with humility, grace, and humor. Former and current medical providers will forever be indebted to his standards of high quality care and his patient first approach, leading all of us to deliver amazing compassion for those we serve.

Dr. Upchurch’s leadership had a prominent influence not only locally, but across the great state of Montana. He served on the Montana Board of Medical Examiners, helping produce protocols and educational standards for all pre-hospital entities in the state. His medical expertise was offered in emergency departments, operating rooms, clinic rooms, ambulances, board rooms, and innumerable other areas, with his gold standard of patient first care being the top priority.

Dr. Upchurch’s distinguished career impacted countless lives, directly, and in those providers he has imparted his wisdom and knowledge with.

Jim was our friend, mentor, leader, guide, and so many more things. He was an amazingly kind soul, who's expectations pushed us to become better providers and professionals, delivering quality care to those entrusted with our skills. He taught us all how to be better at being kind, compassionate, and dedicated professionals. The world in which he practiced has changed, but his everlasting legacy has impacted countless lives by his amazing compassionate presence.

Thank you Dr. Upchurch- for everything.
