Greetings Everyone,

A message from Catholic Health:

Tomorrow, December 17, 2021 from noon – 3:00pm the ambulance ramp as well as the EMS entrance at MSM will not be accessible.  EMS crews transporting to MSM during this time should follow the process that was utilized during our ramp repairs last month, park in front of the building and enter through the main ED entrance on the north side of the Emergency department.

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

Greetings, from the Bureau:

EMS Agency Leaders,

Please take a few minutes to answer the two survey links below. The surveys are a quick set of questions for the purpose of polling the EMS agencies across NYS to determine which agencies may be interested in entering into a contract for service with the NYS DOH BEMSATS. Even if your agency is not interested in entering into a contract we ask that you please answer both surveys.

We ask that you respond by 7:00 pm on 12/12/2021 as current mission assignments MAY begin as early as 12/15/2021.

December 2021-03 EMS Mobilization Survey (Binghamton Vaccination Site)

Hello Everyone,

I have been informed by the State DOH BEMS that the HCS EMT search tool is now functional again. They feel cautiously optimistic that it will remain functional at this point.

Hello to all,

From everyone here at UBMD EMS, we wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving. The last few years have been a challenge for everyone so please take this time to celebrate with family and friends and enjoy your holiday weekend.
