ABOUT US
Military Professionals
EDS is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business founded by
two Physician Assistants with a combined 44 years of military service and ten overseas deployments in the pre-hospital environment triaging and treating multiple casualties, including pediatrics.
Both Monica and Walter have developed and implemented effective military healthcare programs, policies, and procedures benefitting trauma care research, clinical practice guidelines (CPG), and quality care for the Department of Defense.
Established in 2020, Monica and Walter were Instructor / Writer faculty for the Tactical Combat Medical Care (TCMC) course responsible for presenting evidence-based point-of-injury, evacuation care, ROLE 1 and 2 care material to Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine medical personnel in preparation for deployment overseas.
During TCMC, and from our experience treating pediatrics during overseas deployments, we realized the ineffectiveness of the current pediatric trauma equipment, CPGs, and training. Here we developed the PEDS bag during our personal time as we wanted to fill the capability gap and innovatively disrupt the current standard. Monica has been a co-author on the Joint Trauma System CPGs for pediatric care.
