Task force to reform emergency medical services

Published April 18, 2007 4:00am ET



District Mayor Adrian Fenty on Tuesday led the first meeting of an emergency medical response task force created as part of a settlement with the family of slain New York Times reporter David Rosenbaum.

The task force, which has six months to reach its conclusions, “is about action, about results,” Fenty said. The city has learned many lessons from the total EMS breakdown the night Rosenbaum was beaten and robbed, the mayor said, but there is more to learn and more to do “to make sure that in the future nothing similar happens again.”
