Union Solutions

CARE 1975 is actively working to improve CEMS, both for employees and for the citizens we serve. Some of our recent initiatives include:

Implementation of a mental health peer support group as a means of combating PTSD.
Advocating for a scheduled vehicle replacement program to increase ambulance reliability.
Exploring ways to reduce attrition within CEMS, including working with legislators at the state and local levels to obtain a 25-year retirement plan similar to other public safety agencies.

CARE will continue to be advocates for mental health in our division. The Executive Board appreciates the work that every member puts in on a daily basis. If the need arises, please utilize the Peer Support Hotline: 888 694 8880
