Picture it. EMS providers are dispatched to care for an ill or injured child at a special needs school and upon arrival find a challenge that is new and different for them; the child is non-verbal and Autistic. As clinicians, how should they appropriately communicate with the patient? How should they perform an assessment and render appropriate care? 
HARTFORD — On January 6, 2012 three Paramedics and one EMT were added to the Aetna team. As part of our continued growth Aetna and ASM seek out only the best candidates. We look for employees who are focused on high-quality patient care, are team oriented and conduct themselves in a professional manner.
