EmergyCare

Specific Need

EmergyCare, NWPA’s largest non-profit ambulance service, has provided EMS training since 1986. We offer EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic Programs that meet Pennsylvania Department of Health and Bureau of EMS standards. EmergyCare is raising funds to create an ambulance simulator to enhance the training experience for its students. The simulator will provide hands-on experience inside a real ambulance, helping students become more efficient and accurate when they start working. Your donation can help make this simulator a reality and better prepare EMS workers to help you and your loved ones during emergencies.

An ambulance simulator helps students practice new skills and see how they react to situations they will face in the field. Instructors can see how students handle stress and distractions. Students can then practice and improve their skills and procedures. The simulator will have a high-definition camera system so instructors and students can watch and learn. By working and learning inside a simulated ambulance, students become more efficient and accurate when they start working.

The simulated ambulance will also allow EmergyCare’s EMS instructors to travel to different training locations.

Please help us equip the ambulance simulator with the necessary tools so we can better help you and your loved ones during emergencies.

Mission

Profile

Founded in July 1983, EmergyCare opened its doors with a staff of 32 and 5 emergency vehicles.  Today, the operations team consists of wheelchair transporters, EMTs, AEMTs, Paramedics, PHRNs, and 65 vehicles, including 39 ambulances in Corry, Erie, Greenville, Titusville, Warren, and Kane, PA.  The service lines that EmergyCare provides include Emergency and Non-Emergency medical transportation at the Basic / Advanced / Critical Care Life Support levels, inter-agency paramedic intercept response, paratransit (wheelchair) / medical taxi transport solutions, tactical paramedic / SWAT Team integration, and community outreach which includes educational safety programs.  EmergyCare’s diversified service lines integrate with local and state healthcare organizations to play a pivotal role in providing the best prehospital-based medicine.  

In response to Titusville Ambulance Service’s request for assistance, EmergyCare purchased Titusville Ambulance Service in September 2003. Since then, EmergyCare (located at 223 St. John Street, Titusville, PA) has been the primary EMS service provider for Titusville, PA. EmergyCare also serves as the primary provider of EMS services in Hydetown and Oil Creek townships. In addition, EmergyCare provides secondary coverage and paramedic intercept services for Centerville, Randolph, Rome, Sparta, Steuben, Townville, and Troy.  

It is expected that the Crawford Division of EmergyCare will have 1065 patient contacts over the coming calendar year.
