Paramedics
Paramedics are ready to serve the community whenever advanced life support services are required on an emergency. Paramedics work out of local area hospitals and are able to start IV lines, perform EKG monitoring and administer emergency medications on scene during an emergency. With their help, our ambulances are readily able to become mobile intensive care units, capable of stabilizing critical medical and trauma patients.
