4 <br /> On April 27, 2012 UNC hosted an open house of the campus station. Chancel- <br /> lor Thorp and several UNC staff celebrated the grand opening. <br /> IMPACT TO STAKEHOLDERS <br /> Developing operating bases throughout the community was a department-led <br /> initiative that began in 2009 in an effort to reduce response times throughout <br /> the County. Until this effort, the department dispatched two ambulances <br /> housed at the South Orange Rescue Squad station at 202 Roberson Street in <br /> Carrboro with the remainder responding from the EMS HQ at 1914 New Hope <br /> Church Road. There are now seven active units with specific response areas. <br /> Data analysis indicates response times in areas that Medic 3 (UNC) primarily <br /> serves are reducing since the implementation of the station. <br /> At the Emergency Services Workgroup meeting and again at the Chief's Coun- <br /> cil Meeting, a fire chief commented that his department has witnessed im- <br /> proved EMS response times in the past year. This improved service is direct- <br /> ly related to opening new EMS stations such as Station 3 and adding addition- <br /> al units. <br /> Types of Calls for Medic 3 <br /> Oct 2011 to Sep 2012 <br /> 333 350 <br /> 2W <br /> 22G <br /> 161 188 178 <br /> 126 142111 74 "64 56 29 29 35 34 <br /> `,�� <br /> ce <br /> o� �,t, •�U qt �� C\` ,�Q � d �y fit, � <br /> Medic 3 responds to a variety of calls.
