The Health & Emergency Medical Services Division is responsible for providing quality emergency medical treatment to the public and quick transportation of patients to emergency rooms. It also is responsible for the overall health and wellness of the department’s first responders. When it began, the division was the first of its kind in the State of Florida and continues to lead in areas of emergency medical response and innovation today.
This division of highly trained medical professionals comprises five units including:
- EMS Administration,
- Infection Control,
- Quality Management,
- EMS Training and Evaluation, and
- Health and Wellness
Through its Infection Control unit, the division plays an
important role in helping to maintain the health and safety of the
community. Through its Quality Management unit, the division
frequently audits and looks for ways to improve its response to
emergency medical alarms. Through its Training and Evaluation unit,
the division provides its first responders with the working medical
knowledge, information and up-to-date tools needed to evaluate, save
and treat patients, and transport them quickly to hospital emergency
rooms. Through its Health and Wellness program, the division helps
to keep its personnel in top physical and mental condition,
including when a first responder is exposed to a health risk.
