Emily James from Catholic Health asked that we share this message regarding CT services at the MACC this Friday 12/19/2025.

On Friday, December 19, 2025, from 2:30am – 4:30am Mercy Ambulatory Care Center will not have CT capabilities due to an electrical upgrade project.  During this time please reroute any potential stroke patients as the MACC will not have the capability to obtain neuro imaging.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, thank you.

Greetings,

The New York State Department of Health Division of EMS has just released Policy Statement 25-09 regarding the use of Supraglottic Airways for EMTs.  A few things to note:

1. Agencies who were approved under the pilot program do not need to resubmit for authorization.
   1. When your agency certification expires, you may be required to provide proof of the required data reporting and policies and procedures contained within the policy.
2. Agencies are not required to possess recording and printing capabilities for continuous waveform capnography. A device that displays the waveform and end-tidal carbon monoxide (ETCO2) level is the minimum requirement.
   1. If an agency possesses a cardiac monitor with continuous waveform and ETCO2 capabilities, basic life support practitioners may use this feature when inserting an SGA, provided they are properly trained on agency specific equipment.

Please follow the link below for the policy statement posted by State EMS.  Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.

For our Agencies that transport into Rochester please make note of these two announcements from MLREMS on behalf of Rochester Regional Health System:

Rochester General Hospital:

RGH will be waxing the floors in EMS triage on 11/7/25, from 7:00am-11:00am. EMS crews will need to enter through the Decon entrance during that time.

Unity Hospital:

The EMS canopy at Unity is going to be replaced.  Work will start 11/17 and should last about a month.  Attached is a memo with a diagram regarding the change.  The EMS entrance will remain open with some temporary changes in traffic flow.
