Standby Service
As a proactive community partner, EmergyCare strives to be available when the community needs us. We’re proud to provide ambulance stand-by service for a wide variety of festivals, events, and sporting activities each year.
You’ll find us at CelebrateErie, the Tall Ships Festival, Liberty Park events, fundraising walks, and hundreds of youth sporting events each year. When a large crowd gathers or potentially dangerous activity is taking place, we feel it is a part of our mission to be on-site and be ready to deliver aid on the spot. When thousands of people converge, the potential for illness and injury increases. Last year we provided 5,620 hours of standby service.
Subject to EmergyCare's geographic service area and staffing availability.
Please complete the standby request form at least TWO WEEKS in advance of the date of your event. For questions, contact Lisa Songer by email or by phone at 814-870-1948.
