ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT
Our Advanced Life Support (ALS) teams provide services designed to meet the needs of patients whose medical conditions require advanced levels of care, monitoring and interventions during transport. In addition to all BLS skills, our ALS clinicians are trained to monitor and administer intravenous fluids, administer medications, monitor cardiac activity, and monitor surgical airways, among other interventions. Our highly trained crews are dedicated to ensuring patient care and safety is our highest priority.
SPECIALTY CARE
Specialty care transport (SCT) services are designed to provide the highest level of medical care for critically ill or injured patients. This category of services may also be referred to as Critical Care Transport (CCT) services in some of our markets. Our specialty care teams include registered nurses and paramedics with advanced certifications not only to provide ALS interventions during transport, but also to manage ventilators, surgical airways and administer IV medications. Specialty care transport patients are most often being transported from one hospital facility or trauma center to another.

Behavioral Health
Central EMS is the leading EMS expert in behavioral health transportation in Georgia. We have served one of the largest behavioral health systems in the state for decades.
Employees receive special training on the medical skills and the sensitivity to safely and respectfully treat and transport behavioral health patients, including verbal deescalation training.
Adjustments to our vehicles and equipment for safety include: Buckle Guard technology on stretchers ensures only the EMT or paramedic with the key can unlock the strap buckles; converted handles on the back doors to latches at the top to reduce the risk of a patient opening doors without permission; and real-time closed loop video monitoring so driver can view the patient and partner en route.
event standby services
The event standby team provides rapid emergency medical care during events in which the traffic, crowd congestion or obscure locations can make normal modes of emergency care difficult. Our capabilities include small-scale community to larger public events. Our goal is to protect the safety and health of our guests with advanced planning and logistics, professional staffing and specialized event response equipment. Events we cover include marathons, runs, walks, construction sites, motor sports, sporting events, media and movie production sets.
