The papers for the award read, “Specialist Johnson was personally charged with the responsibility for maintaining approximately 350 enlisted personnel files, this duty was executed in a truly exemplary manner. Throughout Specialist Johnson’s tour of duty she extablished herself as an alert and capable Records Specialist who reflected exceptional initiative and was always willing to accept and efficiently carry out new and additional responsibilities. Specialist Johnson is a definite asset to herself, Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the United States Army.” According to Tom Har iri elink, chief of the,r Department of Human Resources’ Office of Emergency Medical Ser vices (EMS), North Carolina has developed one of the best emergency medical systems in the nation - an EMS system that has been used as a model by other states. “We’ve come a long way since 1973 when the General Assembly passed legislation to improve the quality of emergency medical care in this state. Ten years ago, emergency medical service l was basically a means of 1 fast transportation from the : scene of an accident to the hospital. Good com- 1 munications and equipment '■ were almost nonexistent,” i said Harmelink. < One of the more significant developments in EMS has been the training of emergency medical technicians (EMT’s), who can provide emergency medical care upon arrival at THE CHOWAN HERALD . tOh the scene of an accident or rrUtass. ..■The field of emergency medical has reached specialty status and is an important part of North Carolina’s health care system. Through the EMS program, 8,695 emergency medical technicians were certified or recertified in Fiscal Year 1981, and 1,333 ambulances were inspected to ensure high standards. Thirty - five communities i received new ambulances through the joint effort of I the Governor’s Highway i Safety Program and the i Office of Emergency ] Medical Services. Harmelink believed that i North Carolina has built a i solid foundation and an 1 impressive record in the delivery of emergency I THERES A LOT OF 0 INKX^DCAY I • ’ls >■' •- «*.— In 1977, Oldsmobile introduced ik i—i— features of the popular diesel the first American passenger cars IX LJf j| AI if I IN. if VB, like the Fast-Start Glow Plug with an available 5.7-liter diesel || XJ | Vy J y XJ y~l System, roller hydraulic lifters and VB.

In fact, we’re seeing more and more nurses and doctors specializing in emergency medicine. More hospitals are offering around - the - clock physician coverage in their emergency rooms,” said Harmelink. Advancements in am bulances, equipment and communications have also improved the quality of patient care. Emergency vehicles are inspected regularly to see that they are equipped and main tained properly. Communications have been standardized to the point that technicians can now talk directly to emergency physicians and nurses and receive in structions for the care of the patient both at the scene and enroute to the hospital. In observing Emergency Medical Services Week, Harmelink has high praise for the growing numbers of North Carolinians trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). “This is a mouth - to - mouth breathing and chest com pression technique which can be used, if necessary, to maintain the life of a heart attack victim until professional help arrives.” In addition to learning CPR, which takes about 8 - 10 hours of instruction and practice, citizens can assist in emergency situations by knowing the telephone number of their nearest EMS and keeping it handy. As Harmelink puts it: “that’s a small investment to make toward saving someone’s life.” DAR Conference At the N.C.
