Community
““I offer my strongest support for the collegiate emergency medical services (EMS) program being developed at UNC Charlotte known as Niner 1-1. I have personally been involved with collegiate EMS for 15 years. I am a strong advocate for collegiate EMS programs. They improve the health of our communities and provide unparalleled experiences for our students who will be the physician and healthcare leaders of tomorrow. I am available to support and mentor the students at UNC Charlotte.”
