The Emergency Medicine Medics Project

About

In 2001, United Hatzalah made waves in Rambam Hospital (Haifa) when they began a program that significantly decreased waiting times in the emergency room. The program assisted ER nurses in effectively treating patients faster without sacrificing the quality of care. In what has become known as the Hospital Liaison Program, volunteer EMTs and paramedics from United Hatzalah volunteer for a minimum of two shifts per month to help streamline basic procedural and medical tasks in hospitals.

The program is highly effective and significantly cuts down waiting time in the ER. Today, the program has expanded greatly, currently providing aid to eleven hospitals throughout Israel, and we are in the process of bringing the program to another four.
