As you know, it is <br /> our plan to operate a twenty-four hospital-based service, <br /> staffing the helicopter with a registered nurse and an EMT- <br /> Paramedic. The Paramedics will function in accordance with <br /> the Orange County-North Carolina Memorial Hospital advanced <br /> life support program. <br /> The helicopter will function as a resource to Orange County <br /> Emergency Medical Services, and as such may be accessed by <br /> established command at an accident or disaster scene. The <br /> aircraft will be licensed by the office of Emergency Medical <br /> Services as a Category IV vehicle. We anticipate between 35 <br /> and 50 EMS calls in Orange County during our first year of <br /> operation, with response times of 5 to 15 minutes to most <br /> points in the county. Application for Emergency Aid and <br /> Assistance Certificate is being filed. <br /> We believe that this service will greatly enhance the <br /> already excellent emergency medical services system in <br /> Orange County, and will gladly furnish any more information <br /> that you might require. Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Robert R. Harrison <br /> Aeromedical Coordinator <br /> enclosure <br /> RRH/pac <br />
