Baystate Wing Hospital leadership and Emergency Department team members met with the Palmer Fire Department Ambulance Service team to celebrate the newly operational Palmer Fire Department municipal ambulance service. In support of the department’s efforts and the important work they do in the community, Baystate Wing Hospital provided a $3,500 grant to the Palmer Fire Department to purchase an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). “The Palmer Fire Department has historically assisted with many medical calls throughout the day, stepping in to provide care when Palmer Ambulance has been occupied with other calls," said Lt. John Fitzgerald of the Palmer Fire Department. "As call volumes continued to rise, the department made the pivotal decision to establish a Basic Life Support service, enabling us to not only treat but also transport patients to the hospital." “We truly value every aspect of our healthcare team, and I am thrilled that we’re here today to thank the Palmer Fire Department ambulance service for their efforts to improve the quality and timeliness of care in the community of Palmer,” said Karli Barrett, president of Baystate Wing Hospital.
