Pike County Advanced Life Support, Inc. (PC-ALS) was formed a few years ago and began
serving the community in May of 2003. PC-ALS provides advanced life support (Paramedic) services
that supplement the services that we provide. Our volunteers have been providing basic life support
services for many years, however, there are times that medical conditions (such as: difficulty breathing,
chest pain, severe trauma, etc.) dictate that advanced care is needed to assist our patients.
PC-ALS serves most of Pike County and has personnel on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week able
to respond to a medical emergency within 2 minutes of dispatch. Because of this timely response time,
PC-ALS personnel are able to arrive on the scene of a medical emergency very quickly. Since there are
no hospitals located in our county, it can take 30 to 45 minutes to get to an emergency room once we have
a patient on board our ambulance. This extra medical care that is available has saved the lives and/or
shortened recovery periods for many of our community residents and visitors. We appreciate everything this
organization has done to improve the medical care for our community.
PC-ALS is a 501(c)3 organization and is also worthy of any tax-deductible donations you may be
able to contribute. Their address is: PC-ALS, PO Box 384, Dingmans Ferry, PA 18328. Feel free
