Join me in today's episode as we journey back to the 1960s to honor the unsung heroes of the Freedom House Ambulance Service in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania . These pioneers, despite facing systemic racism, revolutionized emergency medical care for Black communities and laid the groundwork for modern paramedics. With the visionary leadership of Phil Hallen and groundbreaking medical contributions from Dr. Peter Safar and Dr. Nancy Caroline, these 25 Black men proved that resilience and innovation could overcome adversity. We reflect on their enduring legacy and the need to recognize their pivotal role in shaping emergency services as we know them today.
