Sanilac Ambulance

For over 30 years, McKenzie has provided the community with Emergency Medical Services (EMS). During this time, Sanilac EMS has grown and advanced to now provide advanced life support services to a large portion of Sanilac County. The service now includes multiple ambulances, specialized equipment, Paramedics, and Emergency Medical Treatment (EMT) Specialists. McKenzie Paramedics and EMT’s work together to bring you immediate, top quality, coordinated emergency care—wherever and whenever you need assistance. Paramedics and EMT personnel have distinct abilities:

• Paramedic – Trained in advanced life support and qualified, under the direction of a physician, to perform certain skilled procedures, which are usually performed only in a hospital's emergency department.
• EMT – Trained in basic life support and qualified to perform procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), administration of oxygen, splinting of fractured limbs and removal of victims from motor vehicle accidents.

McKenzie Emergency Department physicians and Sanilac EMS Staff work as a team from the moment EMS contacts the emergency department from the ambulance until the patient is treated at the hospital. McKenzie’s skilled Emergency Department physicians provide medical control and oversight of patient care both in the ambulance and as care continues in the McKenzie Emergency Department.
