Kevin Mnich (Chief/President)

Thanked squad for their great response to calls so far this year
For the flu shot clinic tomorrow, LEMS members are considered as a part of the “high risk” category so you can get the shot if you choose to
When dealing with a call, all LEMS members should make sure that confidentiality is held, so in terms of the call report, only the on-coming ambulance should get a copy of the report and no one else (including Campus Police)

Kristin Caruso (Training/Personnel Captain)
