We provide basic and advanced life support treatment of any injured or sick child requiring this care. We provide invasive drug therapy, CPR, electrical defibrilation, bandaging, splinting and transportation to the hospital . We also provide for helicopter transfer of sick children to distant speciality hospitals such as Miami Childrens , Shands Hospital in Gainesville , etc . We also provide some educational services to children such as demonstrations in the local malls . The last demonstrations done were to educate the parents to the hazards their children may be exposed to in their own home. One demonstration was a child-playing with a gun, which resulted in an accidental shooting. The other demonstration was a child drowning in a backyard pool. We have many of our units do demonstrations at the local schools to help educate the children about the 911 system to access emergency care, and also to familiarize the children with the paramedics and the ambulance to help overcome the fear the children have of the unknown. • I Our paramedics give stuffed teddy bears to our sick and injured children to help reduce their anxiety and fear. The stuffed teddy bears are provided by the Rotary Club. We have a paramedic planning a Christmas party for the children at one of the County' s Indian Reservations. We try very hard to present a positive role model to the children of Collier County. Yours truly, (7-' ) ! Olt 0-4$ Don Eckert Chief of Operations Collier County-EMS DE/mf Please Judge Hugh S.
