SCEMSA Town Hall Meetings

Town Hall Meetings for South Carolina EMS

The South Carolina EMS Association (SCEMSA) hosts Town Hall Meetings across the state to connect with EMS professionals, agency leaders, and community partners. These meetings are your opportunity to hear updates from association leadership, share your perspective, and help shape priorities for EMS in South Carolina.

Formerly known as the Quarterly Membership Meeting, the Town Hall format creates space for real conversation so SCEMSA can carry your concerns and ideas into advocacy, education, and future initiatives.
