Kirby Medical Center’s emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics serve the community 24 hours a day, 365 days a year through the Kirby Ambulance Service. Recognized by the Illinois Department of Public Health as an Advanced Life Support Service, our paramedic units are able to provide Advanced Life Support to adults, children, and infants. We also partner with AirLife to offer emergency air medical transportation services to those who need it.
Our ambulance department has introduced a Pediatric Special Needs Emergency Form to better serve children with special healthcare needs during emergencies.
This voluntary form allows parents or caregivers to share important information about their child before an emergency happens — things like medical history, communication needs, sensory sensitivities, mobility challenges, medications, and any special equipment your child may use.
Why this form matters:
This form helps us provide personalized, compassionate care while strengthening the overall efficiency of our 911 system. It allows first responders to focus less on gathering information during a crisis and more on delivering the care your child needs.
Participation is optional, and the information is only used to support emergency response and patient care.
By working together, we can make emergency situations safer, calmer, and more effective for some of our most vulnerable patients.
Thank you for helping us better serve our community.
