    Episode 316: Special New Year’s Edition, with Greg Howard
    Jan 1 2026
    To kick off the new year, Medic2Medic presents a Special Edition episode centered on survival, perspective, and purpose.
    In this powerful conversation, Steve sits down with career EMS professional and public safety technology leader Greg Howard, a sudden cardiac arrest survivor whose story reframes how we think about EMS, provider health, and what truly matters. With more than 25 years of experience across EMS, emergency medicine, fire service operations, and healthcare technology, Greg has helped EMS agencies nationwide improve care delivery, documentation, and data-driven decision-making. That professional journey took a deeply personal turn when Greg suffered and survived sudden cardiac arrest.
    This episode sets the tone for the year ahead by focusing on awareness, survivorship, and the responsibility EMS has not only to patients, but to its own people. In true Medic2Medic fashion, the conversation also takes a turn toward shared roots and relationships. Steve and Greg reflect on their Pittsburgh area EMS connections, swapping stories and names familiar to anyone shaped by that region’s EMS culture.

    This Special New Year’s Edition of Medic2Medic is a reminder that sudden cardiac arrest does not discriminate, even within EMS. It challenges listeners to start the year with intention, awareness, and renewed commitment to caring for both patients and providers.
