The Washington County Emergency Medical Response Team Fund was created in 2016 through an effort led by the Washington County Emergency Management Services in collaboration with Dr. Robert Corkern, Emergency Room Director at Delta Regional Medical Center. The Washington County Emergency Medical Response Team is a volunteer team committed to the delivery of pre-hospital emergency medical care and t
he preservation of life through the delivery of pre-hospital emergency medical care and the prevention of injury through community education initiatives. This will greatly increase the response times throughout Washington County. The group has approved by-laws and medical protocols in place and will make a huge difference in the response times throughout our community, especially in the rural areas. Providing a large county, with a busy ambulance service, volunteer service for medical care allows that professional provider to focus on the advanced life support techniques while the volunteer provides needed support, medical care and assistance. By having a system of county residents as medical volunteers --- the county is provided support to an intrinsic medical system that reaches every corner of the county. Donors can contribute to this fund and play a significant role in the improvement of lives right here in Washington County, when they are faced with a medical emergency.
