Description

Santa Monica Fire Department introduces Advanced Provider Unit: A two-person team of nurse practitioners and firefighter-paramedics treats non-life-threatening medical situations at the scene, freeing up regular ambulances for critical emergencies and reducing hospital burden. The unit, part of a two-year Realignment Plan, has shown success in early cases, with plans to expand service and recruit more part-time nurse practitioners.
