Leading the New Standard in Event Medical Readiness Since 2016
Raising the Bar in Event Medical Services
With 20+ years in emergency medicine, McKenna founded ERSSD to close the gap between expectation and reality in event safety. From Comic-Con to community gatherings, ERSSD delivers precision, planning, and peace of mind.
I started this company to raise the bar,” McKenna says. “Every event deserves more than basic coverage – it deserves a plan, credentialed expertise, and absolute confidence. Nothing should be left to chance.
ERSSD exists to close the gap between expectation and reality in event safety. As an LGBTQIA+ inclusive organization, ERSSD is built on a foundation of respect, professionalism, and trust – within its teams and across every event it supports. The company partners with organizers who expect more than minimum compliance and demand proactive planning, clinical excellence, and accountability. Choosing ERSSD means choosing experience, leadership, and peace of mind, regardless of an event’s size or complexity.
Your expertise does more than ensure safety—it empowers organizers and elevates every event. At ERSSD, we set the standard for medical readiness and reliability.
Make an impact where it matters most. From marathons to conventions, you’ll bring credentialed care and rapid response to events that define Southern California.

We go beyond basic coverage with credentialed teams, proven protocols, and real-world expertise empowering organizers to plan with confidence and ensuring attendees enjoy worry-free experiences.

“I visited ERSSD’s medical area several times during Comic-Con. Each time, I was quickly cared for. The area was clean and well-staffed, and the team was ready to assist. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the service.”

I’ll definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone needing professional medical assistance.”
