Types/Categories of Events
When completing the online request form, you will be required to choose from the following categories that best describes your event:
Medical Stand-by:
This event involves having an ambulance staffed by EMS personnel for medical coverage at your event for emergencies that may arise. There are two categories to select from:
PAID Medical Stand-by:
If you charge admission for your event then our services would fall under this category. You will need to fill out the registration request and someone will be in contact with you to discuss providing medical coverage and our availability to schedule your event. Our current hourly stand-by fees are published in the request form below.
NON-PAID Medical Stand-by:
If you are not charging admission into your event then our services would fall under this category. You will need to fill out the registration request and someone will be in contact with you to discuss our availability to schedule your event.
Community Relations, Educational, and Other Special Event Requests:
Career Day:

This event would involve EMS personnel coming and speaking about EMS as a career.
Community Relations (PR) Events:
(Show-n-Tells, Health Fairs, Schools, Presentations, Speakers Series)
This event involves show casing EMS services. This event may or may not involve having an ambulance present at the event. (Please note on the request form if having an ambulance present at the event is a requirement so it can be taken into consideration as we process your request).
General Guidelines for a Successful Event or Medical Standby include:
-Due to staffing and scheduling challenges, pre-planning will be vital to a successful event.
-Please be advised that staffing may be limited for special events during holidays and weekends.
-EMS reserves the right to decline a PR Event, or to cease our participation in an event due to staff or participant safety concerns.
-All event requests must be received by Union EMS at least 7 days prior to the event. Your request will be reviewed based on prior commitments/events and availability of EMS Staff.
-Events work best that are no longer than a 4-hour time commitment, depending on the location
-Please be advised that should an emergency arise, due to the nature of our business, the staff and ambulance may be called into service.
