I brought my decades long collaborator from out local Fire JPA to #NAEMSP2025 and then I brought him to tacos. Thanks @rpcrowe ! Spectacular education plus delicious food? That’s how you build connection.
Consider it done! I’m trying to bring my entire group of officers from the Arkansas NAEMSP Chapter! I brought 2 of my colleagues to #NAEMSP2025.

The smaller of the Freds took a people mover ride and then checked out the reg area for #AMTC24 ! The Freds have their big moment under the bright lights tomorrow. #thecontinuingadventuresofthepotatoheadfreds

The Freds woke me up super early, clamoring about how they’d booked us travel someplace fun where they could do their song and dance routine. Who am I to argue with the Freds? Especially since they’d packed themselves up so nicely. Here we go!

Very excited for this #ihi session on AI and Patient Safety! And seeing an opening quote that also describes the Quality experience.

Michael Wells from Montgomery County Hospital District helping us fight the post-lunch slowdown with a dynamite presentation on building, measuring, and improving a quality program. Excellent session at #imagetrendconnect2024

There’s something about traveling with a bag full of Potato Heads that just makes you feel ready to facilitate some Improvement Science learning! #thecontinuingadventuresofPotatoHeadFred

“What are you willing to give up to be authentically engaged with the community?” Just one of the mic drop statements on today’s EMS Equity Learning Community meeting. I’m going to need to mull over that one for awhile. Love it.

Kiddo opened my Amazon delivery and asked “why did you order all these Mr Potato Heads?!?”. Told them it’s for teaching QI when I travel next week. They ask “what can you teach with Potato Heads?”. Let’s go to the table and I’ll show you! They loved it. 🥰
