Event Standby
Imagine that an athlete at one of your sporting events is injured on the field and they must lie there in pain, waiting, as the audience looks on wondering “why don’t they do something?” It’s a situation which can easily arise if you’re relying on local EMS (Emergency Medical Services) to reach your location. If the local EMS is already attending another call, the wait can be a long one. It is for this reason that many insurance companies will not cover your sporting event unless you have continual ambulance standby. Aaron Paramedical provides that continual ground transport unit standby, stabilizing the ill or injured patient and, if necessary, calling in regional EMS to transport.
Aaron Paramedical has held long-term contracts for events at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede (including the rodeo events), Calgary Flames hockey games and other professional and amateur sporting events. For years our specialty has been providing medical services at rodeos, but we have also provided stand-by services to all types of sporting events including the 1988 Winter Olympics, winter and summer motorcycle races, professional soccer (Calgary Mustangs) and lacrosse (Calgary Roughnecks), the Monster Truck Jam, car races and ski races, just to name a few.
Clients who are involved in high risk activities or who appreciate the need for special emergency protection can rely on the standby services offered by Aaron Paramedical. We never leave you waiting.
