AMBULANCE SERVICES
MCMO provides primary first response, Advanced Life Support "911" coverage to nearly two thirds of Mason County. Our service area is approximately 600 square miles. We primarily respond with the city of Shelton and 10 of the 14 fire districts within the county. We handle both emergent and non-emergent inter-facility transport services for Mason General Hospital, several skilled and assisted living facilities, and from private citizens requiring medical transport within our service area. In 2007, MCMO responded to over 5,000 requests for service.

All pre-hospital emergency medical care is performed under the direction of our Medical Program Director, Mason General Hospital ER Physician, Dr. Joseph Hoffman, MD.

SPECIAL EVENTS
MCMO also provides ambulance stand-by coverage for many of the special and community events in the county, including the Shelton Drag Races, Mason County Fair and Rodeo, Shelton School District - Kids Week and, Oysterfest to name a few.  Recently, MCMO crews started providing bicycle teams in addition to our stand-by crews at several local, high population events in order to ensure prompt medical attention where conventional emergency vehicular responses are delayed, due to the high volume of pedestrian traffic.

COMMUNITY TRAINING
MCMO is continually seeking ways to help enhance safety in the community and improve the skills of our fellow EMS providers. We accomplish this through our diligent community education. MCMO provides personnel who are certified as 1st Aid, CPR and AED instructors to area schools and businesses. We also have EMT instructors and evaluators who assist local fire districts with EMT classes and continuing education programs.  We participate in school career days and have personnel who give informational talks to educate young students about possible future careers in emergency medical services.
