Special Event EMS Coverage
We provide medical coverage of many public gatherings each year. We may offer EMS coverage for some smaller events, but we're not able to offer coverage for all events. Regardless, we will be there quickly for any emergent need at any special event in Plamyra Cinnaminson Riverton and Riverside with a call to 9-1-1.
IF WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER COVERAGE
We will determine what type of EMS resources we need to cover the event (ambulances, bike teams, supervisor, etc). Those are operational decisions that we make based on what we determine is needed to provide coverage. If you make your request via email to (chief@pcrems.org), you will receive a call or email confirming dedicated EMS coverage for your event, the type of EMS resources used, and an estimate of the total costs, which are based on rates set by the Palmyra Ambulance Association.
In most cases events will require pre-payment based on estimated costs prior to the event.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE UNABLE TO DONATE SERVICES FOR NONPROFIT AND/OR FUNDRAISING EVENTS.
EMS special event coverage is intended for individual patient evaluation, treatment and/or transportation to an emergency department.
It is beyond the scope of EMS to provide "first aid station" services such as mass supply of pain medicine for headaches, multiple ice packs or elastice bandages, other medical supply handouts, bottled water, etc.
