Ambulance Services

Medics On Bikes

Since 1992, Monroe Ambulance's Medics on Bikes program has provided area residents with rapid response, on-site ALS and/or BLS care at special events that attract large crowds. Equipped with first-line medications and a cardiac monitor/defibrillator, our paramedic and EMT ride in tandem throughout the event site, providing quality emergency medical care to those in need of assistance. In the event of an emergency, we can provide Advanced Life Support or Basic Life Support, stabilizing the patient while waiting for our transport ambulance crew. When seconds can mean the difference between life and death, the rapid response of our Medics on Bikes gives us an advantageous approach to EMS at sites with limited ambulance access. Medics on Bikes has also continued our commitment to community education through staff participation in a local youth bicycle program, and has provided bicycle helmets to needy children.
