Weekly CREATE Bulletin

National EMS Week, May 17-23, 2015, is the perfect time to honor your local EMS professionals and promote awareness of their everyday service to the public. EMS is much more than a ride to the hospital. It is a system of coordinated response and emergency medical care, involving multiple people and agencies.

As we take the opportunity to THANK our state’s EMS providers, we wanted to remind you about the CREATE program. CREATE assists private and public organizations in improving and expanding the emergency medical and trauma system in Colorado.

Specifically the program offers a 50% cash match to provide funding to EMTS agencies for education and training of emergency medical and trauma service providers working in Colorado.

In order to access the CREATE grant application, you must complete the 5 pre-application steps first. To learn more visit https://coruralhealth.org/create.

Thank you for all you do for all our Colorado communities! We are here to support you, so please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.

If you have any questions about the CREATE Grant process, please contact Megan Lyda at ml@coruralhealth.org or 720-248-2742.
