WHEN TO CALL AN AMBULANCE

  • Is the patients life or quality of life threatened?

    If you feel that the patient's life may be endangered, or that the problem could cause long-term damage call 9-1-1 without delay.

  • Would moving the patient cause further injury?

    Call for help if moving the patient by passenger vehicle might cause further damage. (example: neck or spine injuries.)

  • Always call 9-1-1 for symptoms of heart attack or stroke!

    If you suspect heart attack or stroke, call for help immediately! Minutes matter.

  • Is the scene dangerous?

    If the surrounding area presents a hazard to bystanders or danger to the patient, call assistance from trained personnel.

  • Special Patients

    Many patients are older adults, or have pre-existing conditions that add complication to injury or illness. When in doubt about the safety of passenger vehicle transportation, call for help

February is National Cancer Awareness Month

National Cancer Prevention Month is observed every February to raise awareness that up to 50% of cancers are preventable through healthy lifestyle choices, encouraging actions like avoiding tobacco, eating plant-based diets, limiting alcohol, staying physically active, getting vaccinated (HPV, Hep B), and undergoing regular screenings for early detection. It's a time to educate the public on risk factors and promote early detection strategies to reduce cancer risk.
