About Us
Our Mission:
The mission of Bushkill Emergency Corps is to provide timely, compassionate, and essential pre-hospital medical treatment. Through our compassionate and professional care, we address the patient's need during times of their and their family's greatest distress.
A primary function of our service is to ensure that the highest quality of pre-hospital care is provided regardless of one's economic situation, race, ethnicity, and/or sexual preference.
Ensuring quality patient care is done through both ongoing training of all career and volunteer EMTs and Paramedics and by continuos upgrading of pre-hospital medical equipment. Our Advanced Life Support vehicles are equipped with a 12-lead EKG monitor which has the capability of transmitting a patient's 12 lead EKG from the field directly to the hospital. This technology enables our service to provide quality and immediate patient care utilizing a team approach. Additionally, our ALS vehicle is equipped with Video Laryngoscopy, which is credited with providing increased success during first-time attempted intubation. Both our Avanced Life Support and Basic Life Support vehicles are also equipped with the Lucas 3, Automated Compression device, and Automated External Defibrillators.
