At Conemaugh Memorial
Medical Center's Department of Emergency Medicine, paramedics are
standing-by 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ready to respond to
whatever type of situation that may arise. Whether a medical
emergency or a traumatic injury, a Chevy Tahoe, equipped with state
of the art Advanced Life Support equipment is ready to respond and
assist area ambulance services with either an upgrade in care to ALS
or just to be there for an extra set of hands. The DART
(Disaster Assistance Response Team) paramedics are Nationally
Registered Paramedics, most of which also work on the Flight Team
configuration. DART also responds with Supply 38-3, a fully
stocked trailer, to assist with Haz-mat, mass casualty incidents,
triage, and any other situation that may warrant it.
