Our vehicles are the most obvious evidence that Swartz Ambulance Service is at work in your community. In addition to providing medical care, we are at work in many other ways. As a company, Swartz Ambulance Service is known as a contributor to the communities we serve. Our company sponsors many events throughout the community, including charity raffles, senior center activities, the local arts, and much more. In addition to direct sponsorships, each year we provide coverage for high school football games, community parades, The Crim road race, various elementary and high school career fairs and events.
Sometimes we're teaching CPR or other life-saving skills. Other times we're simply giving a child a tour of an ambulance and answering their questions. Simply stated, Swartz Ambulance Service "Cares." As involved community partners, we believe that the more we participate in the community during non-emergency situations, the more we can prevent an emergency from occurring in the first place.
At all times the community knows that we're committed to them.
When should you call for an ambulance rather than driving to the emergency department? Ask yourself the following questions:
If you can answer yes to any of the questions above, or if you are uncertain you need to call an ambulance. Sometimes you can manage to get a person to the hospital sooner than an ambulance, although in most situations calling an ambulance is the wiser choice. Medical technicians can start treatment immediately upon arriving on the scene and implement life saving strategies during the ride to the hospital. They can also provide the hospital with details on the patient's condition during the route, therefore giving the hospital time to prepare for the situation and be ready.
