By John Bower  EMT, Paramedic Supervisor, Tri-Community South EMS

In the midst of the ongoing pandemic, Tri-Community South EMS staff continues to take precautions by following the latest CDC guidelines to ensure our cleaning and disinfection procedures are consistent and correct.

Tri-Community South EMS

In order to keep our equipment clean and safe for you, we use a hospital grade spray disinfecting agent to clean and sanitize each ambulance, equipment, and the EMS base. We also utilize an antimicrobial spray to inhibit the growth of any agent in the ambulances and EMS base.

Our crews utilize the disinfection equipment provided by the county at each emergency department after they transport a patient to the hospital.

When we arrive on the scene of a call, our staff will have on eye protection, gloves and masks and will provide you with a mask to wear if you do not have one. Depending on the nature of the call, we also might wear a surgical type gown or protective suit. We urge you not to be alarmed by this, we are simply taking precautions to protect our crews and you.

We will ask basic questions like if you have had a cough, sore throat, body aches, fever, vomiting or chills, or if you have been exposed to someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID 19. We will take your oral temperature and continue with our assessment and treatment. At this time we are not letting family members ride to the hospital in the ambulance except under certain circumstances, such as a juvenile patient. We want to limit the exposure of our crews as much as possible.

We have had to modify our daily operations to keep current with the ever-changing guidelines but rest assured that Tri-Community South EMS continues to be there for the residents we serve by providing the highest level of out-of-hospital care possible.

Tri Community South EMS is the designated ambulance service for the municipalities of Upper St Clair Township, the Municipality of Bethel Park, and South Park Township.
