Memorable quotes

“If you’ve seen one EMS squad, you’ve seen one EMS squad, and way too many agencies only know their way of doing things, and they kind of stagnate – or they run the risk of stagnating – if they don’t get outside their own little bubble and see the ways that other agencies are doing things.” — Kelly Grayson

“If you feel like you’re the smartest person in the room; you’re in the wrong room.” — Kelly Grayson

“There are people who are doing the work in organizations who are far more advanced than you are.” — Chris Cebollero

“There are very few new problems under the sun.” — Kelly Grayson
