State of New Jersey, DHSS, OEMSConsulting Services: EMS System ReviewACKNOWLEDGEMENTSIt is impossible to list every member of the New Jersey EMS system that assisted us withthis monumental effort. The EMS professionals listed below were especially instrumental inhelping us complete this assessment. Many of these personnel unselfishly gave their time andtraveled significant distances in an effort to be of assistance. Their efforts exemplified the NewJersey EMS System. Special accolades are in order for Thomas Starr, NJOEMS, who served asthe Project Manager for NJOEMS. He was instrumental in providing liaison with TriData and insetting up the focus groups. We especially thank the Allentown Rescue Squad who allowed us toconduct the focus groups at their facility and provided meals and hospitality for a veryreasonable price.Dr. Fred Jacobs – Commissioner, NJDHSSDavid Gruber – Senior Assistant Commissioner, NJDHSSDr. Joseph Tricarico– Assistant Commissioner, NJDHSSKaren Halupke– Director, NJOEMSDr. Mark Merlin – Medical Director, Robert Wood Johnson EMSDr. Jennifer Waxler – Chair, New Jersey State EMS CouncilDr. James Pruden – Immediate Past Chair, New Jersey State EMS CouncilVincent Robbins, President, MONOCScott Kasper – Director, Virtua Health System EMSDr. Joseph Hummel – Medical Director, Virtua Health System EMSDr. Steven Marcus – Director, New Jersey Regional Poison CenterBryan Fischberg– Robert Wood Johnson EMSSusan VanOrden – President, New Jersey State First Aid CouncilJulie Aberger – Editor, Gold Cross Magazine, NJSFACRuthie Bertagni - Captain, Allentown First Aid SquadThomas P Canzanella 1 – President, New Jersey Professional Firefighters AssnMickey McCabe – President, New Jersey Medical Transportation AssociationLouis Sasso – Director, Robert Wood Johnson EMSJames C.
