EMS Operations
At Baytown EMS, we are committed to providing leading edge out of hospital clinical care. For example, all patients believed to be having a heart attack will receive a 12-lead EKG, with Paramedic interpretation and treatment in the field. This treatment previously would be reserved for care only once in the emergency room. Early diagnosis and intervention is often literally lifesaving! This is just one example of the progressive medical care the community enjoys due to medical direction under the exceptional leadership of Dr. Michael Harrington.
Beyond a newer fleet of ambulances and extensive state of the art diagnostic equipment, at Baytown EMS, it is the people who truly make the difference. Our dedicated Paramedics participate in decisions that impact every aspect of the organization. Focus groups have input on everything from deciding what features to have on new ambulances, to distribution of workload. This empowered environment produces exceptional patient care, and contributes the best experience possible in your time of need.
