Emergency Medical Services (EMS):

EMS are the personnel, vehicles, and equipment that respond to aid a sick or injured individual, or group of individuals in order to render emergency medical care and transportation to the appropriate local hospital.

Rescue Services:

Rescue Services are the personnel, vehicles and equipment that responds in order to aid the EMS personnel in gaining access to an ill or injured individual, or group of individuals. Examples of these services include using our “Jaws of Life” to free a patient trapped inside of a car involved in an accident, or using our Dive Rescue (SCUBA) Team to locate and retrieve a patient who has gone missing in a lake or river.

Training:

The Endeavor Emergency Squad staff all of our ambulances with at least two certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). These EMTs have successfully completed a 110+ hour training program designed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, that provides them with the knowledge to treat and stabilize life threatening injuries, so that the patient can be transported to an appropriate medical facility.

In addition to EMTs, we also have staff trained in advanced rescue techniques which include:

Boat Rescue , SCUBA, Rescue, and vehicle extrication.

Volunteer:

The Endeavor Emergency Squad is always looking for volunteers. Anyone who is at least sixteen years old is welcome to apply as a volunteer. We provide all of the necessary training. If you are interested, please contact us at TEL. 609-386-8899 for a complete list of membership

requirements.

Funding:

Our primary source of funding is from the fees charged our patients (typically, to their health insurance) for providing them with medical care and transportation by ambulance. However, this fee for service provides less than 65 percent of our annual operating costs. The remain 35 percent comes from other sources, such as governmental grants and allocations, and corporate and private donations.
