Our medical professionals have an unmatched understanding of both the personal and medical needs of their patients. An understanding of a patient's personal needs is something that can't be taught. It comes from the heart.
On the other hand, an understanding of a patient's medical needs comes from a combination of experience and education. All Fallon ALS and BLS EMT's maintain certifications and training that meet or exceed established state and federal guidelines, and allow each EMT the opportunity to grow as a care provider. We also provide our EMT's with continuing education and training throughout the course of the year.
We maintain strong, mutually beneficial relationships with some of the region's finest medical facilities, including:
Professional Education programs include:
Basic Trauma Life Support for the EMT-B and First Responder
This program is a 16 hour hands-on training course offering basic EMS personnel complete training in the skills necessary for rapid assessment, resuscitation, stabilization and transportation of trauma patients. The course is designed for providers providing initial evaluation and stabilization of the trauma patient.
Basic Trauma Life Support for Paramedics and Advanced EMS Providers

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
This program covers Basic Life Support training and
features:
- Background information about normal cardiovascular
anatomy and physiology

(diseases)
- The principles of primary prevention (risk factors
and Prudent Heart Living) and secondary prevention
(signs of heart attack, actions for survival, prevention
of unnecessary mortality from heart attack and other
common causes of sudden death)
- The technical aspects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) , including performance skills such as foreign
body airway obstruction management
Protecting Your Back
This program is designed for nurses, physical therapists,
occupational therapists and other healthcare workers
who provide direct care. These professionals are constantly
lifting loads as heavy as those lifted by construction
workers. But the loads are far more precious, flexible
and sometimes uncooperative. Using proper body mechanics
can protect your back and your patients. The program
consists of a review of patient transfer techniques
and proper body mechanics.

This program orients nursing staff and members of the community with both ALS and
BLS ambulance services. This in-service:
- Prepare nursing staffers to call for an ambulance
- Provides the necessary information to complete
a smooth patient transfer
- Explains the differences between ALS and BLS,
and explores the different functions
