Bill overview
This bill awards a Congressional Gold Medal to the Freedom House Ambulance Service in recognition of its pioneering work in emergency medical services and its significant contributions to the field. The Freedom House Ambulance Service, founded in Pittsburgh in the mid-1960s, was the first in the United States to employ paramedics with advanced medical training and dramatically improved pre-hospital care. Despite facing defunding, its innovative training model and clinical data influenced national standards and continues to be celebrated for its impact on community health and civil rights.
