EMS support for events

Special events: Standing by in case of an emergency

Medical emergencies can happen in a crowd. That's why you'll find our paramedics and emergency medical technicians on duty at civic events, concerts and sporting events.

Sponsors of events in our primary service area can ask Allina Health Emergency Medical Services to provide medical coverage in any of these ways:

• Advanced life support golf cart: A paramedic certified in advanced life support will patrol the grounds in a specially equipped golf cart.
• Basic life support golf cart event: An emergency medical technician certified in basic life support will patrol the grounds in a specially equipped golf cart.
• Basic life support unit coverage: Two emergency medical technicians will stand by with an ambulance equipped for basic life support.
• Advanced life support unit coverage: At least one paramedic and one emergency medical technician will stand by with an ambulance equipped for advanced life support.
• Bike team coverage: A team of emergency medical professionals will circulate throughout the event on bicycles. The team includes at least one paramedic.
