Things you should know about us:
• We provide emergency medical service by staffing our ambulances with highly trained men and women who respond to 911 calls for assistance from residents and visitors of Lacey Township.
• In 2019 we received 2,121 calls for assistance and we responded twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week.
• Your donations are critical to off-set costs associated with being prepared to answer your call for help including but not limited to:
• Effective October 1, 2018 we primarily rely on compensated staff with a few volunteers. Previously someone needing life saving help would dial 911 and have to wait until the the call was dispatched, then volunteer EMT's and ambulance drivers drove from their home to our headquarters, waited for the crew to assemble then got the ambulance and drove to the person in need; this wasted critical time. Volunteering is noble, kind and honorable; however, we felt it was in the best interest of the community to respond rapidly with two EMT's using a licensed ambulance rather than continue the tradition of volunteerism. Our headquarters is now staffed 24/7 and we are ready to respond within a moments notice. Compensated staff has also allowed us to retain the best quality personnel. In just a few months we have seen dramatic improvements in patient outcomes and recoveries due to our rapid responses, higher expectations and greater accountability.
