The McCandless-Franklin Park
Ambulance Authority offers medical service to Franklin Park
residents 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Highly trained,
state-certified paramedics and emergency medical technicians
are prepared at a moments notice to administer the very best
emergency care possible to you and your loved ones when the
need arises.
Many people believe that in an emergency help begins
when the ambulance arrives on the scene. However, in
reality, YOU are the first step in the emergency medical
system.
Each of you has at least one emergency lifesaving
device in your home...YOUR TELEPHONE. You can learn to use
it in just a few minutes. Write down this telephone number
911. This is the number you should call for help in a
medical emergency. Now, put the number by your phone. This
is very important for every person in your family to know.
When you need help fast, your phone and the correct
emergency telephone number can be a real life saver, and
making the right call can save time and lives.
One call connects you to the McCandless-Franklin
Park Ambulance team, paramedics, emergency medical
technician and dispatchers, who are especially trained to
help people who are hurt or sick. EMS stands for emergency
medical services.
Many people are surprised to learn that the
Ambulance Authority is not supported in any way by local tax
dollars. The Authority's only sources of revenue are from
subscriptions and donations. Your donation to the Ambulance
Authority enable them to continue to offer Franklin Park a
high standard of excellent health care without tax support.
