REMINDER: Utica College will be holding a lecture on 9/9/21 titled “Look at the Effects of 9/11”. On Saturday 9/11/21 they will be holding event’s through out the day for all First Responders.

Midstate EMS in conjunction with the Oneida County Health Department and Partnership to End Addiction are reaching out in regards to the Spike Alert Pilot Program. This Pilot Program allows for first responders to register on their phone to receive Spike Alert text messages when the Oneida County Health Department releases an alert for increase trends in overdoses. The Spike Alert notification system has a First Responder component that can readily used for Provider Safety. If interested please see the flyer below to register.

Over the past few weeks, we have been meeting with the Emergency Departments to collectively work on relations between the EMS and Hospital Systems. EMS reports are a reoccurring topic that has been conveyed to Midstate EMS from the hospitals. Previously, the short report format was created for providers to relay the pertinent information to staff taking the pre-arrival report. Please see the short report policy attached below. If you have any questions please contact us here in the office. Thank you all for your continued hard work, it does not go unnoticed.
