Freedom House Ambulance Service- History of Medicine NSN Shift Support Podcast

Today we are discussing the history of pre-hospital medicine and how it came to be. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was the first formal paramedic program and Emergency Medical Services in the United States. Staffed by Black men and women from Pittsburgh's poorest neighborhood, these paramedics paved the way to save countless lives.
My apologies for the occasional background noise in the episode. I'm trying out a new mic and I need to work on the background noise cancelation (or maybe not record around my dog, lol)
