Redmond Fire and Rescue is proud to announce its official recognition as a Peds Ready EMS agency by the Oregon Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Program. This designation reflects the department’s commitment to providing high-quality emergency medical and trauma care to pediatric patients in the Redmond community. The Oregon EMSC Program reviewed, verified, and accepted Redmond Fire and Rescue’s application, granting initial recognition through October 31, 2027. Renewal of this recognition will occur every two years, with the first renewal reminder scheduled for August 2, 2027. As part of the recognition, Redmond Fire and Rescue will receive a certificate and decals for each licensed ambulance vehicle. While affixing the decals is encouraged to promote awareness, it is not mandatory.
“We are honored to be recognized as a Peds Ready EMS agency,” said Luke Jerome, EMS Training Captain for Redmond Fire and Rescue. “This achievement underscores our dedication to delivering exceptional emergency care to children and families in our community.” The Oregon EMSC Program may feature recognized agencies in quarterly reports and on its official website, highlighting their efforts to improve pediatric emergency services across the state. Rachel Ford, MPH, Program Manager for the Oregon EMSC Program, expressed appreciation for Redmond Fire and Rescue’s commitment: “Redmond Fire and Rescue is going above and beyond in their care of pediatric patients. The Oregon EMSC Program thanks them for their dedication to the provision of pediatric emergency medical and trauma care in their community.”
