From Columbia County: "We just had a pediatric code, not a good outcome, so peds equipment is on the fore front of our minds."
From Jefferson County: "I recently received word that our EMS Unit would be receiving an ALS Pediatric Jump Kit bag from your organization's Program. It brings tears to my eyes. Many of us who have been in EMS for a long time always remember a child's life that was lost. There is always the thought that we wish we could have done more. We wish the outcome had turned out differently. We all hope and pray we never have to experience that kind of loss again. Having your equipment means so much to all of us. If it can make a difference for one family, it will be well worth it."
From Washington County: "We have two large campgrounds in the area we cover. One...has several hundred children of all ages every weekend throughout the year. In summer...every day of the week. The other campground...has several hundred sites that are filled every weekend in summer. By that scenario you can see the potential for young patients."
Buffalo County: “This is a wonderful project. Thank you to your organization for offering this. This equipment will be very beneficial in rural areas of the state, where sometimes it can take us up to an hour to get our patients to the hospitals because of the remote area we live in and serve.”
