In an emergency, you can count on our dedicated staff of paramedics and EMTs.
9-1-1. Three magic numbers that bring life-saving care to you. When you make that call, you can be confident the GRHS ambulance that speeds to you will be equipped with the latest technology and the most highly-trained and well-prepared crew you’ll find in our region.
Advanced Life Support
GRHS holds an Advanced Life Support license for its ambulance service. This means that our paramedics and EMTs are trained and certified to start a wide range of treatments in the field, before you arrive at the ER.
Our staff can insert breathing tubes, interpret EKGs to diagnose heart attack, administer shocks to correct abnormal heart rhythms, attend emergency childbirths, clear obstructed airways, control bleeding, start IVs and administer a broad range of medications.
“In cases of life-threatening illness or injury, advanced life support capability can make all the difference,” says James Jessen, MD, a GRHS emergency medicine specialist and medical director of our ambulance service.
