WVU in the News: Marion County Rescue Squad and WVU Medicine celebrate success in early stages of program
Dr. P.S. Martin is part of a program sponsored by the DTE foundation, where physicians respond to emergency calls along side an ambulance. The program’s focus is to offer response services in the rural counties, to work on patience before they get to the hospital.
“I can’t tell you how good it is to feel that we were able to make a difference like that, not only for the patient, but for her family, for the community, for that matter,” P.S. Martin, WVU Medicine director of pre-hospital medicine said. “It’s extremely important that I was able to see that, we were able to see that, in all honesty. It’s a great feeling.”
