On Time Ambulance

National Immunization Awareness Month is an annual observance held in August to highlight the importance of routine vaccination for people of all ages. Vaccinations are critical components of routine healthcare and provide protection against severe illness, disability, and death from 15 different infectious diseases such as influenza, pneumococcal disease, herpes zoster (shingles), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, HPV-related cancers, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough).

This back-to-school season, It is crucial that steps are taken to help everyone stay (or get back) on schedule with their routine immunizations.

This week's brings us back to a few years ago when our dispatchers would operate on two small monitors, a desk phone and handheld radios while routing 80-100 trips each day.⁠
⁠
Since then, we have made major upgrades to our Care Command Center to accommodate our partnership with RWJ Barnabas and increased volume. Our dispatchers are now tasked with real-time scheduling and rerouting of hundreds of planned, unplanned and emergency transports 24 hours each day. Our Dispatchers monitor driver logs, verify insurance, address crew and facility issues in order to dispatch the appropriate team members for calls as needed, so it is only natural that we provide the team with all of the most up-to-date tools and technology necessary to continue contributing to our success. ⁠

It's and this goes out to those looking forward to big end of summer plans. For the EMT students who finished class last week, not so fast! Acing the NREMT is the one thing between you and the beach!

We recently caught up with Rooby, a MAVT who has been with on time since 2014 to ask him a bit about his time here as well as one of our infamous "This or That" questions! Here's what he had to say:

Q. What inspired you to join On Time?

A. After my separation from my wife, I wanted to start over new. I wanted a new job and everything. One of the customers from my previous employers worked for On Time and each time I saw him, I asked more and more questions about the company until he finally told me to apply. I have been working for On Time ever since then!

Q. What do you think makes you unique as a team member?

A. I definitely think it’s my sense of responsibility and the fact that I am reliable. I think those two things make me valuable to the company because they can depend on me the same way that I can depend on them.

Q. What do you think is the most important skill that a successful MAVO should have?

A. Compassion and also being aware of your surroundings is very important. When you are compassionate and make safety a top priority, you will be successful at everything you do. You will realize that every patient is unique, there is not one solution for all patients but everyone is different. When you make sure that safety is part of everything you will be successful.

Q. This or That: Would you rather be the smartest person in the world or the richest person in the world?

A. Oh this is easy. The smartest person in the world because if you are the smartest person, how can you be poor? You can use your brain and get rich, but if you were rich and not smart, you can lose it all the next day!

We thank Rooby for his years of dedication to our organization and look forward to seeing his many examples of for many years to come!

This month On Time held an Emergency Vehicle Driver Training course for some of our ambulance drivers to reinforce the need for safe operation of our vehicles.

Our attendees completed both a classroom component and a cone course designed to mimic various safety obstacles with ease! We believe that safety begins with each one of us and we all take our individual roles seriously.

Today's features a piece of American EMS history made right here in New Jersey!

In the wake of World War I, municipal hospitals, fire departments and private ambulances became a necessity to transport the ill and injured due to widespread trauma in the United States.

The Palmyra Rescue Service was founded in 1928 in New Jersey and is recognized as one of the first independent volunteer rescue services in the country.

It's and we'd like to give a shoutout to our seasonal per diem employees! Everyone loves catching up with them while they're working during the summer!

Warm wishes to all on the First Day of Summer! We hope you enjoy this season full of sunshine, brightness, vacations and good times.
