The service area is approximately 240 square miles.

Services

AllianceHealth Oklahoma EMS employs over 100 medics and operates 14 advanced life support vehicles. It has many services including:

• 911 Emergency transport
• Non-emergency transport services
• CareVan wheelchair transport
• EMS standby for community events
• Fleet maintenance for emergency response agencies

All ambulances are licensed at the paramedic level, the highest level of pre-hospital emergency medical training available in the state of Oklahoma. EMS personnel employed by AllianceHealth Oklahoma are State and Nationally licensed. All paramedics are required to maintain Advanced Cardiac Life Support certification and undergo field performance evaluations conducted by the EMS medical director twice a year.

Equipment

All EMS units respond with advanced cardiac life support capabilities with equipment on each vehicle that allows paramedics to identify and manage a wide variety of medical and traumatic emergencies. In addition to all required ALS equipment, each unit is equipped with an IV infusion pump, pulse oximeter, doppler stethoscope, blood glucometer, transport ventilator, CPAP respiratory devices, and 12 Lead ECG monitor/defibrillator. AllianceHealth Oklahoma paramedics were among the first in the state to use the LifePak 12 to transfer diagnostic quality 12-lead EKGs from the emergency scene to the awaiting emergency physician.

AllianceHealth Oklahoma EMS works in coordination with the Midwest City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to assure rapid and accurate dispatch of EMS units. As a result of that communication, the average response time is within the standards recommended by the American Heart Association and the American College of Surgeons.
