We were asked to share the message below from Catholic Health however, please remember that ambulances should not be running near any ED entrance.
With the cold weather upon us Mercy Hospital of Buffalo has seen an increase in ambulances left running under the ambulance ramp. While we understand why crews leave their ambulance running, this leads to diesel fumes filling the Emergency Department. Upon arriving at MHOB please turn your engine off or immediately move your ambulance to one of the EMS overflow parking spots.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Catholic Health System EMS Liaison team.
