Bleeding is often an early cause of death when it comes to trauma patients, but it doesn’t have to be.
With your help Camden Clark’s EMS team will be a national leader in emergency paramedicine by giving them the means to deliver whole blood transfusions to trauma patients in the field …
… before they get to the hospital
Our Ambulance and Trauma Service needs to expand EMS services and Community Paramedicine with the $90,000 purchase of a 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility Response Vehicle.
The lifesaving technology built into this vehicle—the key component of this vehicle that benefits the community, is that it enables the transport and administering of blood products in the field to trauma and medically unstable patients. Being able to treat the patient in the field removes delays in patient care and increases survival rates.
West Virginia is the first state in the country to provide statewide protocols for the administration of whole blood on ambulances.
Currently, only two West Virginia counties offer this lifesaving treatment in the field. With this purchase, Camden Clark Ambulance Services will respond to needs in the surrounding counties as well as Wood and Washington. The additional cost of providing blood in the field is about $15,000 which will be paid for by Camden Clark Foundation.
CCMC Ambulance Service is responding to about 25,000 patient calls annually.
YOUR GIFT WILL HELP SAVE LIVES.
Our goal is to raise just over $90,000 for the purchase of this state-of-the-art vehicle. For patients experiencing significant blood loss from trauma, every second matters.
The Camden Clark Foundation’s Pink Mammogram Fund was established as a service to uninsured or underinsured residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley to provide access to free mammograms and associated diagnostics for qualifying patients.
Since its establishment, the Pink Mammogram Fund has provided more than 3,000 free procedures for local patients.
