When We Arrive

When we get to someone’s house, it is very helpful if you have the relevant medical information ready. If you have filled out a File of Life form, you will already have gathered the required information. If not, please have the following information ready:

  1. Names and contact information of the patient’s doctors.
  2. Medications currently being used, both prescription and non-prescription.
  3. Allergies to medication, food, bee stings, etc.
  4. Medical history such as diabetes, heart conditions, recent surgeries, etc.
  5. Name, address, and birth date of the patient.
  6. Call 911 again if anything changes with the patient, or you think of other information to help the EMS team.. Once the EMS team is on the way, the 911-dispatcher can contact us with any new information.
