Philosophy
 |
LAA volunteers provide emergency medical services and support our motto, "We Care for You ". |
|
Emergency medical services are a continuum of care and caring which encompasses the support, care and treatment provided from the moment the request for emergency care is initiated until the patient's care is transferred to the receiving health care provider. |
|
LAA emergency medical services personnel are caring, skilled and intelligent health care professionals whose goal is to provide our patients with the best possible care. |
|
LAA emergency medical services personnel are worthy of trust and confidence and consistently strive to do what is appropriate for their patients. |
|
LAA emergency medical services personnel understand the complexities of their environment, exercise good judgment and utilize system resources appropriately. |
|
Medical care is an art based on science. Emergency medical services are frequently provided in an uncontrolled and at times hostile environment making the application of both the art and science of our profession more difficult. LAA emergency medical services personnel strive to overcome these challenges to ensure the best possible outcome for their patients. |
