Historic Community Investments ✅

ACEMS recently accepted delivery of two additional Medix RP-90 units provided by Penn Care, that will be complete fleet additions as the needs of our operations and communities increase.

Over the past 36 months, a majority of our operational fleet has been overhauled and replaced with newer, safer, and more efficient units.

Today, we are thrilled to announce a partnership with ZOLL Data Systems that will deliver a state of the art Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system to our 24-hour emergency communications center. This technology will improve response times, create a secure connection between our field units and dispatchers, along with ensuring that the right assets arrive in your time of need.

Last month, we announced that we were one of only a handful of EMS agencies in Pennsylvania that were approved to administer prehospital blood for traumatic injuries, postpartum bleeding, and many other critical medical situations.

Combining these investments, we are working around the clock to improve the emergency response model in Washington County.

None of this would be possible without YOUR support!

We are currently engaged in discussions with community benefactors, foundations, and elected officials to ensure that outstanding emergency medical response will be a cornerstone in our area for years to come.

If you are interested in becoming a medical provider, supporting our mission, or want to know more about what we do, message us today!

Today, ACEMS Medic 5417 and leadership attended “Exploring Nurse Camp” hosted by Waynesburg University, Department of Nursing.

This camp is designed for High School students interested in the nursing profession which was attended by participants across three states.

The attendees were able to learn and participate in different parts of the nursing profession and were educated on avenues to pursue within nursing, including the prehospital and emergency medicine routes.

In our efforts to advance the clinical care we provide, ACEMS is thrilled to be the home of many Prehospital Registered Nurses that are integrated into our system to respond to your calls for need every day.

We’re proud to support all of our partners in both Washington and Greene Counties!

Enrollment now open for Fall EMT program. This is a great way to start a career in prehospital.

Staffing First Aid tonight at Ludacris.

ACEMS and Washington County Department of Public Safety co-sponsored an educational class to prepare First Responders across Washington County for incidents involving buses as we prepare for the upcoming school year. Safety prevention and education is just a few things our team does in between caring for our patients.

Our recent posts of sunshine and outdoor events may have jinxed today, as it seemed clouds and rain were all we could find!

A large group of our team members and those of our partnering agencies, lined the tables and attended several hours indoors, learning and collaborating, during our July education session.

The ACEMS Chief Medical Officer and Medical Director presented an interactive lecture on summer heat emergencies—including heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and heat cramps.

After a crowd pleasing lunch, catered by Texas Roadhouse, we got right back into it.

The staff from UPMC, PITT, and The LiTES Network presented updated information and data on the PAIN study trial we are participating in.

This study is an opportunity for us to help pave the way to the future of EMS and the care we provide.

What is PAIN?

Prehospital Analgesia INtervention Trial, or simply PAIN, is a research study that is being done to compare giving fentanyl or ketamine through an IV for pain management in patients with traumatic injuries who need treatment for pain before they arrive at the hospital.

As it relates to research, we answer approximately 18,000 emergency calls for service—in that, you very own ACEMS crews are some of the highest enrolling providers for this study in the country!

North Strabane Township

We staged a unit at the North Strabane Township Parks & Recreation “Touch-A-Truck”. Our other on duty units also visited to interact with the community and to show off some of their amateur dance moves. (We promised we would not post these, but they do exist!)
