- Feasibility study for implementing a Community Paramedicine program
- Feasibility study for launching an Air Medical (HEMS) program serving remote areas

Outcomes
- A modernized EMS system plan tailored to the geographic and demographic challenges of the Navajo Nation
- Strategic groundwork for expanded EMS capabilities (community paramedicine, air medical transport, critical care transport)
- Enhanced readiness to deliver more comprehensive EMS services across remote and rural areas
- A robust framework for decision-making and future EMS program development under tribal governance
