Community Partnership and Integration

As a locally-owned and operated ambulance service, Bethel Ambulance Services takes pride in being an integral part of the community we serve.

Non-Emergency Medical Transportation

In addition to emergency services, Bethel Ambulance Services provides non-emergency medical transportation for patients who require medical supervision during transport but do not need immediate emergency care. This service is invaluable for individuals who need to travel to medical appointments, dialysis treatments, rehabilitation sessions, or transfers between healthcare facilities.

Our non-emergency transportation services accommodate patients with various mobility needs, including wheelchair-bound individuals and those requiring stretcher transport. We understand that these scheduled transports are often just as important to our patients' health and well-being as emergency calls, and we treat each trip with the same level of professionalism and care.

Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement

At Bethel Ambulance Services, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of patient care through comprehensive quality assurance programs. We regularly review our response times, patient outcomes, and service delivery to identify areas for improvement. Our medical director works closely with our field personnel to ensure that all protocols are followed and that patient care meets or exceeds industry standards.

We maintain detailed records of all calls and regularly analyze data to improve our services. This commitment to continuous improvement helps us adapt to changing community needs and ensures that we remain at the forefront of emergency medical services delivery.

Our ambulances are equipped with cutting-edge medical equipment that enables our crews to provide hospital-level care in the field and during transport. This includes cardiac monitors with 12-lead EKG capability, automated external defibrillators, advanced airway management tools, medication administration systems, and comprehensive trauma supplies.

We also utilize modern communication technology to maintain constant contact with receiving hospitals, allowing us to provide advance notification of incoming patients and enabling hospital staff to prepare for our arrival. This seamless communication helps reduce treatment delays and improves patient outcomes.
