SUMMARY: Heartland Medical Direction, representing a third of Oklahoma’s EMS agencies, has sent a letter to Governor Kevin Stitt and other state leaders, citing consistent mismanagement and a lack of accountability within the state’s emergency medical services. Heartland claims this has compromised public safety and EMS care. Despite over a year of complaints to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), no action has been taken. The OSDH responded, calling the move disappointing and stating they are engaging with willing partners to improve the state’s trauma system, focusing on collaboration with those open to meaningful discussions.
