West Des Moines Bike Medic Team Back In Action!

Through the financial funding of the West Des Moines EMS Association, donated funds were used to bring our bike team back into action! The WDMEMS Association is made up of members from our department who pay monthly dues and raise funds throughout the year.

In the rapidly changing healthcare environment, the association has helped us to bring equipment and programs (that were not budgeted) to a reality when the need arises. A few examples of their support include thousands of bike helmets which are given away for free each year, high-flow oxygen therapy equipment during the peak of COVID, upgraded bikes for the bike medics, high-tech training mannequins....and the list goes on.

Our bike medics are pictured here providing support at the Valley Junction Farmer's Market last night. The teams are equipped with defibrillators, oxygen, bandages, and other life-saving equipment. Their ability to maneuver quickly through crowds makes them a great asset in getting care to patients at events. Look for the bike team in the WDM parade on July 3rd and at the Fireworks on July 4th!
