Despite the increased demand, and with decreased staff, CCEMS has maintained an eight minute thirty nine second average response time, just slightly higher than last year\u2019s eight minute twelve second response time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are extremely proud of the dedicated Red Shirts who continue to work at their highest level during this pandemic, despite the challenges of employee Covid outbreaks and some staff leaving early before our contract with ESD 11 ends September 1\u201d says Wren Nealy, Jr. CEO of CCEMS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year, from July 1 \u2013 August 15, we had 7247 dispatches, 7005 responses, 5635 patients, and 3892 transports confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19. Compare that to this year, with half of our staff, and the result is astounding. With a twenty percent increase in calls we managed to keep our response time under the national average.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CCEMS dispatchers report that for July 1- August 15, CCEMS had 8644 dispatches and 8422 responses (a 20% increase) with 6270 patients (11% increase) and 4357 transports (12% increase) confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19. This included 77 mutual aid responses by CCEMS to other jurisdictions (up 108%).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite a 20% increase in responses for patients with suspected COVID-19, Cypress Creek EMS response times remain below the national average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1324,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
