CEO Report
Carda noted a statewide disaster preparedness exercise was held in July. He noted the
exercise was a great learning experience noting communication a key component. Phone
interviews have been conducted for the CNO position. There has been more interest than
expected from applicants for the Director of Emergency Medical Services position.
