APS Radio: Wendy Norris on Healing, Service, and the First Responder Health & Wellness Symposium

 

On this episode of APS Radio, Wendy Norris, founder and president of the Texas Line-of-Duty-Death task force, discusses her own near-miss accident and how that led her to create the Texas LODD task force. She discusses the emotional and physical challenges first responders face, including mental health struggles, cancer risks, and cardiac issues, inspired by her late husband’s line-of-duty death.

Norris explains how this legacy sparked the upcoming John P. Norris Memorial First Responder Health & Wellness Symposium in Pflugerville, Texas, from September 26 to 28. The event, which runs September 26-28, 2025, will address holistic wellness for firefighters and EMS workers.
