Over the past five years, EMEDEX members have helped to establish the first volunteer-based ambulance corps in the country, and oversee an ongoing pre-hospital service in St. Elizabeth parish, the first of its kind in the country. More than 170 community members have been trained in water rescue, CPR, first aid and spinal immobilization skills. The Treasure Beach Response Unit now operates a fully stocked ambulance that is always on call for this rural community.
