The event expenses will be funded by donations and staff time is budgeted in EMS for coordinating community outreach, awareness and support. There is no impact to the County General Fund.
The Contra Costa County’s Survivors’ Reunion luncheon will reunite individuals who experienced near-fatal life events within the past year with the County’s 9-1-1 dispatchers, first responders (police, fire, EMTs, paramedics and dispatchers), medical professionals (physicians, physicians assistants, nurse practitioners and nurses) and the community bystanders who contributed to saving each of their respective lives. During the luncheon, survivors will be reunited with their rescuers for the first time. This event will recognize the County’s emergency medical services system, 9-1-1 dispatchers, and first responders who go above and beyond each day to save and improve the lives of others.
By not approving the collection of sponsorship/funding for this event, EMS System responders and those whose lives were saved by the provider’s heroic efforts would not be recognized. Community awareness of outstanding efforts of EMS system service would not be recognized by our community leaders and key stakeholders.
