About EMS Solutions

Our logo is the Chinese word for "crisis." It is composed of two characters. The top character means "danger" and the second means "opportunity." To use a crisis constructively in our lives, we must see both the danger and the opportunity that are always present.

Nice website. I spent quite a bit of time this past year blogging on various websites (especially newsvine.com) about pandemic H1N1 trying to inform the public about the facts and myths surrounding the virus. This website is quite good and has many reliable sources of info all in one place. I find it an excellent public service for patients.
Thanks for those kind words…that is my intention to provide reliable information in an easy to understand format….Thanks again! Regina
Excellent blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Many thanks!
Thanks for those kind words….two tips. Really carefully read writers that you admire and enjoy and look at their style, format and flow. Second, follow closely those issues that are trending in your field. I have Google Alerts on many key topics and also read numerous publications (albeit speed reading!) every day to track what is happening. Topics often fall into my mind based on that daily practice of data mining. I also think WP is a great platform….it easily links to many different social media like FB, LinkedIn and Twitter which makes it really easy to get your word out…Good luck! Be well, Regina
