The JEMS Report: Women’s Health Challenges in EMS and Fire Service Culture

 
Description:
Stephanie White sits down with Stacee Ramirez and Dani Landholm to explore the overlooked health challenges women face in fire and EMS roles.
 
Drawing from Stacee’s extensive study revealing widespread reproductive health struggles, silent miscarriages, and the cultural stigma around pregnancy in male-dominated emergency services, the conversation uncovers a deep-seated culture of silence and blame.
 
Dani, a member of the International Association of Fire Fighters’ Female Health & Safety Standing Committee, shares personal experiences and discusses how outdated policies and lack of support impact women’s ability to advocate for themselves.
 
They highlight the urgent need for cultural change alongside policy reforms to create safer, more inclusive work environments.
