EMTs and paramedics are both an important part of event medical care, but they aren’t interchangeable.

Different events call for different levels of care. A community event with a few hundred people is very different from a multi-day festival with thousands of guests.

Sometimes EMTs are the right fit. Sometimes paramedics are needed. And for some events, having both makes the most sense.

It really comes down to the event, the environment, and making sure the right resources are there if they’re needed.

Not sure what level of medical coverage makes sense for your event? Send us a message and tell us what you’re planning.

Organizers spend months planning the details that guests will remember.

But when something unexpected happens, having trained medical professionals on site means no one has to wonder what the next step should be.

From evaluating injuries and illnesses to determining the appropriate level of care, our job is to help guests get the support they need while helping your event continue to run smoothly.

Preparation isn't about expecting something to go wrong. It's about knowing there's a plan if it does.

What you do in an emergency has a lot to do with what you practiced before it happened.

Stress, uncertainty and fear of doing something wrong can make even simple decisions harder in the moment. CPR training gives you the opportunity to practice those decisions and skills before someone is depending on you to make them.

If CPR has been on your list, now is a good time to get trained.

Every event has its own energy.

Working Summer Apex means thousands of people, incredible production, and a team of vendors all working together to create an unforgettable experience.

We're proud to be one small part of that team and grateful for another great weekend.

This is exactly how we hope every event looks.

Guests enjoying themselves. Vendors doing what they do best. Music playing. Everything running as planned.

When an event feels effortless, it's because a lot of people have worked hard behind the scenes to make it that way.

Our role is to be ready if we're needed, so organizers, vendors, and guests can focus on enjoying the day.

That's what a successful event looks like to us.

If someone is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

The misconception is believing that every medical situation at an event requires an ambulance.

Many people can be assessed, treated, and safely monitored on-site by qualified medical professionals. In some cases, that's all that's needed. In others, those same professionals can recognize when an ambulance truly is necessary and make sure the patient gets the right level of care.

The goal isn't to avoid calling 911.

The goal is making sure every person receives the right care, at the right time.
