What Does it Take to Save Lives?

Visionary Leadership

Skagit County Emergency Medical Services Commission is a diverse group of volunteers dedicated to countywide emergency medical services, which provides excellent patient care for all people. County Medical Program Director, Dr. Don Slack, establishes medical protocols for life-sustaining treatment in the field and oversees the quality of care provided.

Capable Financial Management

Skagit County Medic One has operated with funds allocated by the Medic One Tax Levy since 1978. The Commission coordinates, operates and maintains this countywide EMS system, with the Skagit County Board of Commissioners maintaining ultimate authority of direct oversight of the Medic One system.

An Extension of the ER

Skagit County Medic One is a countywide system that cares for the emergency medical needs for all citizens and visitors. Paramedics establish the critical link in the survival chain. They begin life-saving trauma interventions immediately upon arrival.

For heart patients, Paramedics bring the latest in cardiac care to the emergency scene. Advanced technology allows them to telephone EKG’s directly to the hospital from the field and initiate advanced cardiac responses.

How Soon Will Help Arrive?

Medic One continually monitors and re-evaluates its response procedures to provide the highest level of care in the fastest time possible. We daily strive to exceed the accepted norms for our industry.
