About
This article describes how emergency medical service (EMS) transport times differ for children hurt on farms compared to those hurt in other rural places. The study found that kids injured on farms often have longer EMS transport times than those with non-farm injuries. Longer transport times can make it harder for these children to get the care they need quickly. The article suggests that improving EMS response and access in rural farm areas could help save lives and improve outcomes for injured children.
