Carol Miller honored for rural EMS work during Beckley visit
Beckley, WV (WOAY) – Congresswoman Carol Miller toured Jan-Care Ambulance's Beckley facilities Tuesday, leaving with the Legislator of the Year award from the American Ambulance Association. The honor recognizes her work championing legislation to strengthen rural EMS.
Miller said many of the challenges facing EMS work in West Virginia have to do with our mountains.
"If granny falls out of bed or something happens, you always call 911 and they send someone out," she said. "Sometimes they can just treat you in place."
