HATZOLAH, NJ — In an effort to provide expanded, cost effective Mobile Intensive Care Services to the region through a selected local community collaborative partnership, MONOC Paramedics and Hatzolah EMS of Lakewood have partnered to provide an additional Paramedic unit to the Hatzolah community and surrounding region.
This approach called the Partnership Provider Model by MONOC, is a first in New Jersey and allows for additional services to be provided while doing so in a fiscally responsible manner. In this model, the Hatzola Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) will be staffed by two New Jersey Certified Paramedics from Hatzola EMS and in the heart of the community, ready to respond to Advanced Life Support (ALS) calls. The MICU will be maintained by MONOC and will work under MONOC’'s New Jersey State License to operate MICUs. Under this unified operation, Hatzolah Paramedics will receive the m e medical oversight, training, quality assurance and equipment as the rest of the MONOC program.
Reviewed and sanctioned by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services Office of Emergency Medical Services, this additional Paramedic unit which will go into service on or about October 1, 2008 will equate to faster response times and greater service to this ever growing
community.
