The ALSV carries the same equipment and medications as an ambulance and is used to assist on emergency calls or to begin patient care before an ambulance arrives. JCH remains committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care to individuals in need, and looks forward to the positive impact that the enhanced ALSV will have on the community.
