The National Association of EMS Physicians presented U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-Concord, with the Friends of EMS award this week for his advocacy.
The association cited Hudson for a bill that would give paramedics and other EMS workers a standing order to administer narcotics, anti-seizure medications and other controlled substances. EMS professionals would not need a patient’s prescription in order to give life-saving medicine.
The bill passed the House in January and awaits consideration in the Senate.
NAEMT will present Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) with the 2017 EMS Legislator of the Year Award on April 25 during EMS On The Hill Day, the largest national advocacy event for emergency medical services (EMS) professionals. This prestigious award recognizes a member of Congress who demonstrates an outstanding commitment to, and support of, high quality prehospital and emergency medical care, as well as the EMS professionals who dutifully serve our nation’s patients.

This week, Rep. Richard Hudson, R-8, cheered a presidential executive order aimed at dismantling President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan.
Obama’s plan mandated that electricity companies reduce emissions in order to meet greenhouse gas emissions standards. America had been one of 194 nations that signed onto a global warming pact in 2015. An executive order this week by President Donald Trump puts America’s ability to meet that pact in jeopardy. For example, Trump’s action would ease restrictions on methane gas releases at drilling facilities.
