Advocacy in Action
EMSAC is the unified voice of Colorado EMS—working year-round with state and national lawmakers to shape policies that impact EMS professionals and the patients we serve. From the State Capitol to regulatory agencies, we advocate for smart, practical policy that strengthens EMS operations, workforce, and patient care across Colorado.
