This would be a welcome change for EMS. https://www.collins.senate.gov/newsroom/senators-collins-welch-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-expand-treat-in-place-emergency-medical-services.

The CARE Act would be a major step forward for EMS because it finally recognizes that patient care doesn’t always require transport to a hospital. By allowing Medicare reimbursement for treatment provided on scene, this bill gives EMS agencies the ability to deliver the right care at the right place without being penalized financially. It strengthens system efficiency, reduces unnecessary emergency department visits, and helps sustain EMS operations, especially in rural and community-based systems, like Warwick, by aligning reimbursement with the reality of modern prehospital medicine.

Our EMT students worked through hands-on scenarios today, combining patient care with movement and teamwork. Scenario-based training gives students the chance to learn by doing in a safe environment where it’s okay to make mistakes and grow.

If you’re interested in joining the next class, we have both EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) and Advanced EMT courses starting this winter.

October kept Warwick Community Ambulance on the move, with crews responding to 484 dispatched incidents across our region. Most calls came from Lititz Borough, Warwick Township, and Manheim Township, with our top call types including sick person, fall/injury, unconscious person, breathing problems, and chest pain. Our team transported 231 patients to hospitals across the region, with the most frequent destinations being LGH Penn Medicine, UPMC Lititz, and WellSpan Ephrata.

Please note that there were periods when CAD records were unavailable due to a county-level system outage. These numbers reflect the data that was available during that period.

Outreach and Pediatric Specialist Colleen Bruckno and her team were busy, too! October was an extremely active month for outreach events and classes. They conducted 11 car seat checks and certified 23 people in CPR. The team also participated in several Halloween events, handing out candy at various trunk-or-treats across the area!

It’s our privilege to serve you. Thank you to our entire team for their continued dedication and professionalism in caring for our community.

We’re proud to share that Warwick Community Ambulance has partnered with Lebanon County to provide paramedic services to areas near our Brickerville station.

While we’ve always responded into Lebanon County when needed, we’ll now be dispatched directly by Lebanon County 911, helping us reach patients faster and strengthen coordination between our counties.

If you listen to the scanner or follow Lebanon’s live dispatch page, you’ll see our paramedic ambulance listed as MICU 71-20.

This unit will continue to serve Elizabeth Township, Clay Township, and the northern portion of Warwick Township, while expanding coverage to our neighbors to the north.

We’re grateful for this new partnership with Lebanon County DES and look forward to working together to better serve our communities.

Today is National First Responder Day — a day to honor those who step forward when others step back.

To our Warwick Community Ambulance crews, and to every EMT, paramedic, firefighter, police officer, dispatcher, and emergency professional who puts the safety of others before their own — thank you.

You are the calm in chaos, the steady hands in someone’s worst moment, and the reason help always arrives. Your dedication, courage, and compassion make our communities stronger and safer every day.

From all of us at Warwick Community Ambulance — thank you for answering the call.

This morning, Colleen, Makayla, and Adam from our Outreach and Education Team took the show on the road. They visited Kenvue (formerly Johnson & Johnson) in Lititz to train their Emergency Response Team in a Stop the Bleed class.

This program teaches participants how to control life-threatening bleeding using tourniquets and wound packing—skills that can save lives before EMS arrives. It’s a vital course not just for emergency responders, but for anyone who wants to be prepared to act in a crisis.
