Responder Wellness and Fitness (v2)

Course overview

Wellness and fitness are often discussed in EMS, yet responders frequently take a reactionary stance, dealing with health and wellness only after an injury or illness has occurred. Responders need a proactive approach to fitness and wellness, just as they do with patient care. This program discusses EMS lifestyles that contribute to obesity, injuries, and an inability to properly care for patients and takes into account physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of developing a body that can handle the activities of EMS.
