Emergency Medicine Conference set for February 6-8

This year’s theme, “Triumph Through Trauma,” will feature a 360 degree dive into the inspiring story of Kennedy Littledike, who will be joined by the first responders, and medical team who saved her life after a devastating car crash that left her hanging from a powerline for an hour. The 360 presentation will unite Littledike and her rescuers to share their perspectives on the accident, the critical actions taken by first responders, and the challenges they overcame.

We are also thrilled to announce keynote speaker Kevin Grange, an award-winning author and experienced Firefighter/Paramedic with Jackson Hole Fire/EMS. Grange is known for his books, Wild Rescues: A Paramedic’s Extreme Adventures in Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton and Lights and Sirens: The Education of a Paramedic. He is a graduate of UCLA’s Paramedic Program.
