Citizens’ Field Personnel receive advanced training and maintain certifications with PA Department of Health and National Registry Certification as Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT), Paramedic (EMT-P), and Prehospital Registered Nurses (PHRN). Our providers provide immediate pre-hospital medical care for a multitude of conditions such as traumatic injury, cardiac and respiratory emergencies, Stroke, overdoses, etc. Our fleet of 16 medic units and 3 Squad Response Vehicles are equipped to handle emergencies of any age.

In a rural setting that Citizens’ covers, Immediate Response Personnel (IRPs) respond in tandem with responding ambulances providing quick and immediate life-saving measures to our patients until the transporting ambulance arrives. Citizens’ too has partnered with local volunteer fire departments within our service area that in addition to our IRPs, they too provide quick medical response to the communities they serve. Citizens’ is proud to be partnered with Dayton VFD, Homer City VFD, Creekside VFD, Cherryhill VFD, Coal Run VFD, and Commodore VFD as our QRS agencies.
