VDH<\/span> and OEMS <\/span>Celebrate<\/span>s<\/span> the Contributions of<\/span> State OMD Dr. George Lindbeck and <\/span>Deputy Director Scott Winston<\/span>, and <\/span>A<\/span>nnounces Acting<\/span> OMD and<\/span> Deputy Director <\/span>P<\/span>ositions<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) shares its heartfelt thanks and appreciation to former State Operational Medical Director (OMD) George Lindbeck, M.D<\/span>., for his devoted service to the Commonwealth.\u00a0<\/span>For more than 18 years, Dr. Lindbeck shared his time, knowledge and extensive experience in emergency medicine to Virginia\u2019s EMS System, serving on the State EMS Advisory Board, Medical Direction Committee and countless workgroups and committees at the state and national level. His commitment and dedication to OEMS and Virginia\u2019s EMS System is highly respected, and we thank him for his honorable service.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The VDH OEMS announces its Acting State OMD Allen Yee, M.D., who will provide interim medical direction, clinical guidance and serve as a technical resource for EMS at the state level. This temporary appointment is part of VDH\u2019s continued commitment to create a more comprehensive and sustainable EMS System in Virginia. <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I look forward to being a part of the changing landscape of EMS in Virginia, and welcome the opportunity to advance EMS care by collaborating with colleagues across the state to ensure safe patient outcomes and quality prehospital care,\u201d said Allen Yee, M.D.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dr. Yee has more than 30 years of experience in the medical field, and has improved EMS in Virginia by serving on various committees and workgroups at the regional, state and national level. Dr. Yee is board certified in Emergency Medicine and EMS, and serves as an Assistant Professor with Virginia Commonwealth University Health Systems. Additionally, Dr. Yee serves as the OMD for Chesterfield Fire and EMS, and is the Regional Medical Director for the Old Dominion EMS Alliance region.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At the state level, Dr. Yee has implemented innovative EMS solutions through his positions on the State EMS Advisory Board as chair of the Medical Direction Committee, Patient Care Coordinator and chair of the state\u2019s Mobile Integrated Healthcare Workgroup. Dr Yee\u2019s highly regarded experience in emergency care will help move Virginia\u2019s EMS System forward to a more coordinated and advanced delivery of care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The OEMS also announces the retirement of Scott Winston, Deputy Director of Education and Compliance, <\/span>effective January 31, 2025<\/span>. For more than 35 years, Scott has contributed his vast array of knowledge and skills in EMS through his work on state and national committees, providing EMS program planning and development, regional coordination and by serving as a stalwart advocate of EMS in Virginia. We thank him for his contribution to Virginia\u2019s EMS System and know that it will continue through his legacy of dedicated service. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It has been my high honor and privilege to work for close to 40 years in public service. For the last 35.5 years I have worked with the men and women at VDH, OEMS to develop programs and services designed to assure quality prehospital care is available to the residents and visitors of the Commonwealth and delivered by an effective and efficient statewide EMS system,\u201d said Scott Winston, B.S., NREMT-P. \u201cEMS resides at the intersection of public health, public safety, emergency management, and healthcare. Collaboration amongst these groups is critical to preventing injury, illness, death, disability and increasing resiliency in neighborhoods and communities across the Commonwealth. The knowledgeable and experienced staff at the OEMS is integral to identifying opportunities to help innovate and move EMS forward into the future.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the interim, Daniel Linkins, Regional Director for the Central Shenandoah EMS Council will assume the role of the OEMS\u2019 Acting Deputy Director of Education and Compliance.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe Virginia EMS system has a proud 50-year history, but recent events have undeniably shaken its foundation. While we must acknowledge the past and learn from these challenges, I believe that change is not only inevitable, but also essential to rebuild trust and ensure a stronger, more resilient future,\u201d said Daniel Linkins, <\/span>MPH, NRP, NCEE<\/span>. \u201cI am excited to join our new leadership team, work collaboratively to rebuild, and chart a course for a bright future for EMS in Virginia.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
