that the race’s neighbors are able to receive the lifesaving care that they need quickly.”
I’ve written in the past about how emergency personnel who administer advanced life support may not be providing any benefit above basic life support.
In fact, one of the reasons that researchers say basic life support may be as good as, if not better than, advanced life support is

Then they looked at 30-day mortality — the percent of people admitted to a hospital who died in
