In addition to preventative education, Lifeguard also invests in technological safeguards like proactive driver feedback and performance monitoring systems. Our adopted safety mission statement is: “To provide the safest working environment in the industry for our team members, our patients and the public we serve.” Our stringent safety measures are proven effective and have garnered recognition on a nation-wide industry level.


Pioneers in Telemedicine

Recognizing the beneficial capabilities of physician treatment and evaluation during transport, telemedicine is becoming increasingly popular in the EMS industry. This technology provides a physician with “direct” access to the patient via on-board microphones, webcams, virtual stethoscopes and the hands/skills of the paramedic.

The use of telemedicine in E-911 settings can, in many cases, decrease the number of unnecessary emergency room visits by treating low-acuity symptoms prior to transport. Not only is telemedicine advantageous in an emergency situation, but also in the response to high-acuity, specialized patient transports and the development of mobile integrated healthcare platforms. Lifeguard is currently deploying several telemedicine solutions across the organization to assist in E-911 and specialty care transport sectors.
