Public relations for EMS agency

[Thatbolanceguy]

Hello, I am new to this site, and somewhat new to the EMS world. I have only been an emt for a couple of years, my background is in promotions/marketing/public relations. I have noticed that the company I work for,it is an incredible company to work for,so don't think I am bad mouthing it, but it just needs to do more public relations. What types of public outreach do other organizations do? I am trying to put something together to show our administration that will possibly kick in some PR events. Thanks in advance!

Our main event is our open house each year. Bring in a bunch of fire departments, cut up a car, showcase our services, etc. Standbys are also a great area to hand out some flyers and talk with the public about what you do. We are also starting a new program where we schedule visits with the local homes and take blood pressures for an hour or so at each place, rotating throughout the day.
