Looking for a loved one currently being treated by EMS?

Patient Care Records

A Patient Care Record is the only method to receive information about a patient or an EMS response. A PCR is not a public document, and it is only available to the patient, a legally authorized designee or someone in an official capacity with appropriate documentation and conducting an official investigation. 

Privacy is a priority in the handling of all patient information. See Notice of Privacy Practices.
