Macungie Ambulance Corps

The following are a list of services provided by Macungie Ambulance Corps.

Community Outreach and Education
The “Gloria Haines Memorial Training Fund” was set up to honor the life long achievements of one of our most active members. Last year we trained over 250 members of the community in First Aid or CPR. Through our Community Outreach and Education services, we meet with members of the community throughout the year to share information, provide instruction, and sometimes even simply give tours.

Public Access Defibrillation Program Support
Through this program we have assisted with placing over 10 Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) throughout the community in locations such as all of the Lower Macungie Township buildings, both club houses at Mill Brook Chase, the club house at Wild Cherry Knoll, and numerous churches and other facilities. We maintain and supply over 15 additional AEDs throughout the community as well. Organizations such as the Alburtis Fire Company, the Macungie and Alburtis police departments, and the Macungie Institute benefit from this service.

Support of other Local Emergency Responders
The Macungie Ambulance Corps supports various other agencies that also respond to emergencies in our community. CPR / AED and First Aid training is provided free of charge to all members of our local fire companies and police agencies. We provide technical and logistical support for these agencies as well.
