EMS Capitol Day 2000 |
|
|
Kansas EMS personnel from across the state gathered at the State Capitol on February 2nd to participate in this 3rd annual activity. Registration for the day was followed by a presentation from Senator Larry Salmans, Hanston. Senator Salmans is himself a Kansas EMT, and he has been instrumental in the success of EMS Capitol Day since it began. Governor Bill Graves visited with us during the morning. His comments were very straightforward, regarding financial issues for both this and the next Fiscal Year. He also presented to us his views on and the status of several issues of interest to Kansas EMS, including the Public Safety Agency Consolidation issue. We are grateful that Governor Graves could be with us and we appreciate his honest discussion with us. Insurance Commissioner Kathleen Sebelius was able to spend time with us just after lunch. Her remarks regarded the Healthwave program and various duties and responsibilities of the Insurance Commissioners office. SKEMS - Region II would like to thank all of the individuals and organizations that participated in Capitol Day 2000, and contributed to this activity. |
