Cypress Creek Emergency Medical Service Association (CCEMSA) has implemented a Medic on Bikes (MOB program). The MOB program is intended to be utilized in areas where several hundred people have gathered and it would be difficult to maneuver an ambulance quickly through the crowd. In this program, the MOB First Responder would be available to respond quickly to the victim and begin emergency medical procedures while the ambulance is enroute and working their way through a crowd. If this program is of interest, call the Assistant Executive Director, Jeff Goethe at 281-440-9650 for details. Event must be located in CCEMSA's territory to qualify.
