Our commitment to excellence is highlighted by the provision of pre-hospital Advanced Life Support emergency medical care to everyone in the community 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. In 2006, we added two BLS ambulances to our fleet that handle interfacility transfer. This ensures ALS units stay in service for 911 emergencies. | ||
