Why do I have to answer so many questions for medical calls?
Our Emergency Telecommunicators use a comprehensive Emergency Medical Dispatch Program to determine the exact emergency, send the most appropriate resources, and provide pre-arrival medical instructions before the ambulance arrives. We can help the caller initiate immediate medical care as the ambulance is responding, including bleeding control, CPR and baby delivery.
