Episode 19: Oren Barzilay - The Struggles of NYC EMS
<p>In this episode of Echoes of Valor, host Tony Ottaviani, alongside co-host Dawn Witherspoon, engages in a heartfelt conversation with Oren Barzilay, the president of the FDNY EMS union. The discussion begins with Oren sharing his journey into emergency medical services, highlighting the evolution of EMS in New York City and the challenges faced by its providers. Oren emphasizes the increasing demand for EMS services, which now account for 80% of FDNY's calls, yet the funding and resources allocated to EMS remain disproportionately low compared to fire services. This disparity has led to a crisis in staffing and response times, with many EMS workers struggling to make ends meet on low wages.</p>
