Organization:
Côte Saint-Luc Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Description:
Côte Saint-Luc Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is an all-volunteer service that provides emergency response services and first-aid training to residents of Côte Saint-Luc. Each year, EMS responds to more than 3,000 emergency medical calls, arriving on scene in less than four minutes and often making the difference between life and death. The primary function of EMS is to provide first response services in Côte Saint-Luc for all medical emergencies received through the 9-1-1 system. The mission of EMS is to arrive in the first crucial moments of an emergency, equipped with an external automated defibrillator (AED), oxygen and airway management supplies, spinal immobilisation equipment, trauma supplies and certain emergency medications, including an Epi-Pen® for severe allergic reactions.
