West Deer EMS provides coverage for Justin Moore Concert at No Offseason Entertainment
On July 13th, West Deer EMS was honored to be asked to provide the on site medical care for the Justin Moore held at No Offseason Entertainment. We were responsible for the first aid room as well as mobile to staff to provide any needed treatment to concert goers and staff members. It was a hot day but we are happy to say that no patients were transported from the event. All patients were treated on site so that they could return to the event and enjoy the concert.
We are looking forward to future shows!

West Deer EMS becomes primary ambulance service for portion of Indiana Township
Effective January 1, 2024, West Deer EMS has become an approved emergency ambulance service provider for part of Indiana Township. With the unfortunate news shared by Seneca Area Emergency Services that they were closing at the end of 2023, they recommended that West Deer EMS step in and cover their service area. We will share the primary 911 ambulance response with Lower Valley Ambulance Services. The map shows the split in coverage. Our area is marked in gray on the map.
Those residents who were subscribers with Seneca should not worry. We have grandfathered all Seneca subscribers into the West Deer subscription program. We have the most recent list of subscribers and their subscriptions were extended through the end of August 2024, when the West Deer EMS subscription year renews. The new subscription packets will be mailed to West Deer and Indiana Township Residents by the middle of June.
If you see us out and about in the community, stop and say hi! We are currently working on plans with Indiana Township Administration to be able to post an ambulance at the township building. Coming soon we’ll have a meet and greet with the residents at the Indiana Township Community Center so you can learn about us and we can answer any questions you might have.

CPR Training
Why learn CPR?
Four out of five cardiac arrests happen at home. Statistically speaking, the life you save by administering CPR is likely to be someone you know: a child, a spouse, a parent, or a friend. You can prepare yourself to act in an emergency by attending a community CPR class. Classes can be schedule for groups 7 days a week, in the morning, afternoon or evening. Classes can be held at our new and updated training center located at our station or we can come to you.
For further information, please contact Kevin Hendrick Education Coordinator, at 724-265-4750 x21. You can also email him at [email protected].

EMS Envelope of Life
West Deer EMS visited the residents of West Deer Manor to assist them with completing the Envelope of Life forms. During an emergency, there are times when patients are unable to speak or think clearly impeding the emergency responder’s efforts to help them. The lack of information may waste valuable time. The Envelope of Life is an easy-to-complete form that provides life-saving information to emergency responders.
The completed, brightly colored form is placed in a location easily identifiable to EMS personnel, most commonly on the refrigerator door.
Anyone wishing to obtain an Envelope of Life form can stop at the ambulance base or contact the EMS office at 724-265-3033.
This program is the start of our “Staying Well Together” initiative which will assist our medically vulnerable residents in the prevention of illness or injury.
