General Information

NAVAC's most obvious mission is to respond to your emergency.  We believe however that emergency care begins before the ambulance arrives. 

Being prepared for an emergency goes a long way to keeping our community healthy and safe.  A less obvious part of our mission is helping you to be prepared.

MedicAlert

It is important for friends, bystanders, and emergency medical personnel to be aware of any critical medical conditions that you may have, especially when you are unable to speak yourself.  While NAVAC does not endorse any one product or service, MedicAlert is a non-profit organization that has undertaken the mission of recording and communicating this lifesaving information for many years.  Visit their web site  or download their application to help us help you.

Home First Aid Kits

Having a basic first aid items on-hand in your home, in your auto, and in your outdoor gear is a great first step in being prepared for life's little emergencies.   NAVAC has a list of suggested items to include in your first aid kit.

Emergency Information Form

When the ambulance arrives at your home our paramedics will have many questions . . . .  about your age, health, medical history, medications, etc.   When you arrive at the hospital you will be asked these same questions again.   If you have a notable medical history or you use our services more than once a year it will be helpful to everyone involved to have this
information written down ahead of time.   Download a handy worksheet to record this lifesaving information.

Emergency Medical Information for Caregivers

In this age of busy lifestyles anyone with children has had to use the services of a "sitter,"  whether it be a family members, a neighbor, or a more formal childcare provider.   NAVAC provides a worksheet for parents to record the important information about themselves and their child, just in case one of life's little emergencies should occur.
