Welcome to this edition of TEMS Time, the Tidewater EMS Council podcast! Today we're bringing you a special episode recorded live from the 2024 Tidewater Healthcare Expo in Chesapeake, Virginia. The Expo is a vibrant gathering where medical professionals share knowledge and build crucial connections. In this episode, we feature representatives from Riverside Health System, one of our valued partners.

First, we'll hear from Scott Maynard, Riverside's Emergency Management Coordinator, who will share insights into his role and Riverside's participation in the Expo. Then, we'll shift gears to focus on Stroke Awareness Month with two of Riverside's dedicated stroke program coordinators, Nicole Duck and April Hafer. They'll discuss the critical signs of stroke, the importance of timely medical intervention, and Riverside's efforts to educate the community on stroke prevention.

The Tidewater EMS Council plays an important role in the planning, monitoring, and supporting of emergency medical services in the ten jurisdictions that make up our region. The annual Expo is a great opportunity to share medical knowledge with others and develop lasting connections and skills. Of course, TEMS could not put on this incredible Expo and do all the many things the organization does throughout the year without the support of partners like Riverside Health System - many thanks for your continued support. 

Riverside Health System, a great sponsor and partner with the Tidewater EMS Council, has several hospitals located within the council's jurisdiction, leading to a close collaboration and support in many healthcare initiatives. Learn more: https://www.riversideonline.com/
