Riverboat cruising is growing in popularity across the globe, but it’s also important to note the complexity of the medical care that is often associated with such trips. With the recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, riverboat travel is now specifically exempt from Title 46 of the US Code of Regulations when it comes to medical care. This affects the type of medical personnel that riverboats can have onboard and calls into question the level of service these vessels will have available in the event of injury or illness. Read our latest article in Journal of Emergency Medical Services, where our medical team addresses the issue with a new healthcare risk reduction tool that can be used by onboard Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel and crew to treat the health concerns which may affect elderly travelers and all others on board and serve as a foundation for the provision of quality medical care. ✍️ Dr. Bill Heymann, Dr. Karl Bergsten MD, Dr. Tanya Engelbrecht & Bec Ware #rivercruise #cruiseindustry #maritimeindustry
