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

July is National UV Safety Awareness Month

July is UV Safety Awareness Month, a time to recognize the importance of protecting ourselves from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Excessive UV exposure can lead to sunburn, premature skin aging, eye damage, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Whether you're working outdoors, enjoying summer activities, or spending time with family and friends, taking simple precautions can make a big difference. Wear sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection, use sunglasses and protective clothing, seek shade when possible, and stay mindful of peak sun hours. By making UV safety a daily habit, we can enjoy the summer season while protecting our long-term health and well-being.
