Medical Team, Our Ambulances
and Community Services
Medical Team
The Mobile Care transport team consists of:
- Ground transport registered nurses with critical care and emergency experience
- Critical care paramedics experienced in transport and 911
- Experienced emergency medical technicians (EMTs) certified in defensive driving
- Registered nurse and paramedic communications coordinators
To safely and effectively care for the wide range of diagnoses and complex medical and
nursing needs, education is a high priority. Requirements for a critical care ground transport team include:
- Emergency/ICU experience for the registered nurses
- Community emergency medical service (911) for the paramedics
- ACLS, PALS, NRP, BLS, TNCC, Annual Advanced skills labs, cadaver labs and quarterly IABP training and
intubations
- Ongoing clinical experiences for the R.N.s in the emergency departments (adult and pediatric), labor
and delivery, ICUs and cath labs
- Trauma round participation
- Emergency Vehicle Operators Courses (EVOC)
- Monthly educational lectures that highlight a different "drug of the month"
Communications Center
The Alliance Transport Communications Center is staffed with a critical care transport
nurse coordinator and/or an MICU paramedic. This unique feature provides the coordinators with the educational background and clinical
experience to better evaluate each patient's care needs, the necessary transport personnel and the appropriate level of transport to
assure the patient's needs are being met.

Community Service
The Health Alliance Mobile Care Team has become the area leader, not only for their
reputation for quality transport of patients, but also for their dedication to community service. Mobile Care has been actively involved
with numerous charities and community shelters, they support public television projects and provide various health and disaster
preparedness classes for the community. Below are some of the ways the Mobile Care Team provides community service:
- Participating in providing health related classes such as CPR and neonatal classes. Many of the nurses
participate in health fairs, providing free screenings.
- Manning the Greater Cincinnati Hospital Disaster Radio Net to coordinate victim distribution during
disasters and exercises.
- Providing disaster preparedness classes for the community.
- Volunteering at the WCET Action Auction for the local Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)

Cincinnati, and collecting personal care items and winter apparel
