System Memos and Advisories
The STMCA will periodically generate a memo/advisory to the providers and agencies within the EMS system. Whenever a new memo is produced, it is sent out to the agencies and other stakeholders in the system to disseminate to the appropriate personnel. These documents can pertain to a wide variety of issues but often they clarify protocols or outline changes in procedures.
