American Medical Response

Today marks the start of Emergency Nurses Week! This week is an annual celebration dedicated to emergency Nurses, who selflessly devote themselves to safe practice and safe care. Thank you to our GMR emergency Nurses for all that you do, and for providing care at a moment's notice.

Today is World Mental Health Day, an international day focused on global mental health awareness, education and advocacy. Personal well-being is vital to overa...ll quality of life at home and in the workplace. Yet this year, we continue to see increasing rates of depression, anxiety and burnout being reported across the country. Excessive stress is believed to be the underlying culprit in many of these physical and mental health issues. The good news is we can improve the ways we manage our stress, making ourselves more resilient and resistant to its negative impacts. To help support you in this goal, we are building additional GMR Life resources in conjunction with the All Clear Foundation, created by GMR to improve overall responder wellness. Tools such as the free and confidential ResponderStrong Wellness Tool and the anonymous ResponderRel8 peer-to-peer chat app are available at www.globalmedicalresponse.com/resources/caregiver-well-being along with many other resources. If you or someone you know is struggling, overwhelmed or lonely, we encourage you to reach out, connect and get linked to qualified help through our programs.

Our deepest condolences and prayers for the family, friends and loved ones of Firefighter Jason Cortez, as well as the men and women of the San Francisco Fire Department. Firefighter Cortez died today in the line of duty after 13 years of service. Rest In Peace.
