Central Park Medical Unit

Central Park Medical Unit attended a joint ice rescue training led by NYPD and FDNY. The Park is home to numerous bodies of water that freeze over in the winter time. It’s important to NEVER walk out on the ice. Falling through the ice is extremely dangerous for the patient and first responders involved in the rescue.

Another 4-8 inches are forecasted in the NYC area on Super Bowl Sunday. Bundle up and enjoy the game!

The calm before the storm As the winter storm nears, please remember to avoid going outside and try to stay off the road so emergency vehicles can quickly respond to urgent calls for help.

CPMU would like to wish our fans, friends and family a very happy and safe New Years Eve! We also want to recognize and thank our EMTs that are working through the night responding 911 emergencies across Manhattan. Your sacrifice & service is greatly appreciated.

From everyone here at Central Park Medical Unit, we wish you all a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving! Picture is from 2019

Instead of dispatching from a station HQ, CPMU ambulances are strategically positioned throughout the Park to allow for rapid EMS response. Every second counts in a 911 emergency!

19 years later. We will never forget.

An important part of any EMS operation is fleet management - especially when it comes to routine maintenance. Just as patients rely on CPMU EMTs for emergency medical care, we rely on our vehicles for rapid response and transport to hospital emergency rooms. This repair work is critical but costly. Help us by donating or purchasing CPMU apparel on our website.

During the Summer, Central Park is especially busy all throughout the day - even late into the evening. Central Park Medical Unit extends our tours specifically during this season to remain in-service in the event of a 911 emergency #ems #emt #paramedic #firefighter #ambulance #police #firstresponders #fire #emergency #medic #emslife #emstraining #rescue #thinblueline #thinredline #firetruck #emergencymedicine #firstresponder #emergencyservices #medical #nurse #firedepartment #centralparkmedicalunit #cpmu #centralpark #nyc #fdny #nypd #covid
