QRS 27

​
QRS 27 (Quick Response Service) is an our busiest piece of apparatus, responding to more than 250 medical and trauma calls each year. A QRS unit is a specific licensure designation by the Pennsylvania Department of Health as a non-transport ambulance. As a non-transport ambulance, it is required to meet all licensure mandates of an transportable ambulance, including being operated by credentialed medical providers; however, the unit does not transport patients. This licensure designation is intended to serve in locations of the Commonwealth as a support unit for transportable ambulances, specifically in locations where the arrival of an ambulance may take longer than 10 minutes (rural and inner-city areas).
​
Our QRS meets or exceeds the minimum requirements for certification by the PA Dept. of Health, including the supervision of a medical director (physician).
