Paramedic Response

The OAPC is working to keep paramedics in the field protected during COVID-19. We are collaborating with other healthcare professionals, reaching out to our government partners and making sure our members have the most up-to-date information, tools and resources they need to stay safe and healthy as they answer every call.

Have masks, ventilators or eye protection to help protect healthcare workers?
