University Hospitals EMS Training & Disaster Preparedness Institute
We strengthen emergency medical services through education, collaboration, and regional readiness. Working in partnership with Fire Departments, EMS providers, Special Rescue Teams, and healthcare professionals across Northern Ohio, we support coordinated emergency response and clinical excellence.
