Allina's Mobile Communications Unit (MCU) brings the components of dispatching out into the field. It is used in our communities for pre-scheduled events and responses to emergent incidents where on-site communications and coordination enhances the EMS operations. The ability to bring this technology to the event or incident scene has proven to be very successful. This resource is shared amongst other EMS agencies in the metro region and as a statewide to assist with natural disasters and other large-scale emergencies.

Our paramedics and emergency medical technicians
respond to emergency calls and handle transfers between health care
facilities, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This requires expertise
in airway management, electrocardiograms,
thrombolytics
and other livesaving methods and drugs.

Our van drivers bring residents of Greater Minnesota
to and from medical care in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area.
As one customer said, "The driver was especially pleasant - a big plus
when you're going for your first surgery in 21 years."
Allina Medical Transportation van drivers also work
with Day One, a partnership of 21 battered women's shelters in
Minnesota, to bring women and children to safe locations.

Our drivers help non-emergency patients who use
wheelchairs get to and from clinic appointments, or go home after a
hospital stay or an emergency room visit. Occasionally, our drivers
also provide medical transportation to people who need help walking.

Traditionally known as basic life support, this
service provides ambulance and stretcher transportation for
non-emergency patients who are too sick to ride in a wheelchair. Many
are hospice or nursing home patients who are living with chronic
illness and need qualified personnel to bring them to and from the
clinic, hospital or therapy center.
