Q: What is a typical day in the life of an EMS professional at ALSTAR EMS?
A: One of the most exciting things about working at ALSTAR EMS is that there is no such thing as a "typical" day. Our professionals are at the forefront of every medical emergency both large and small.
ALSTAR EMS utilizes a two-tier response model offering Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) services. BLS ambulances are staffed with two EMTs who are trained to evaluate and treat patients facing a variety of medical emergencies ranging from cardiac arrest, stroke, poisoning, burns, childbirth, fractured bones, obstructed airways, severe bleeding, etc. Our EMTs are responsible for treating, stabilizing, and transporting patients to area hospitals and delivering high-quality, compassionate care at all times.
