Mordechai (Motty) Twerski, of Lakewood, has been appointed to the National Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council (NEMSAC), TLS has learned. The NEMSAC is a federal advisory body that provides recommendations to the U.S. Department of Transportation and helps shape national EMS policy.

After endorsement by many State & County Officials, Twerski, well known in the community for his dedication to public service and advocacy, will join NEMSAC’s board to contribute insight on strengthening emergency medical systems and supporting first responders nationwide.

In his role, Twerski will collaborate with EMS leaders, medical experts, and federal partners as NEMSAC evaluates emerging needs and works to enhance prehospital care across the country.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on NEMSAC,” Twerski told TLS. “EMS providers play a vital role in every community, and I look forward to contributing to efforts that support them and the lifesaving work they do.”

Twerski has been appointed to the NJ OEMS Board in 2018 by the Governor and has served as one of the Ocean County EMS Coordinators since 2019. He also serves in Hatzolah of Central Jersey for over a decade,

Community members and local officials expressed pride in Twerski’s appointment, noting the significance of having representation from Lakewood and the County on a national EMS advisory body.
