what should i expect from your team on event day?
Arrival & Setup: Our medics arrive 30 minutes before your event begins, fully prepared with signage, uniforms, and all necessary materials to keep your athletes safe. They follow a strict uniform policy to ensure they are easily identifiable and ready to assist.
Game Time: During the event, our medics remain attentive and proactive, monitoring athletes, coaches, and spectators to address any medical needs as they arrive in a swift and professional manner.
Departure: After the event concludes, our medics will wrap up any final patient care and advisement, ensuring a seamless wrap-up and offering to assist with your needs prior to leaving.
How do you ensure medics stay visible at games?
Our medics follow a strict uniform policy, often wearing branded apparel with Smith EMS insignia that is easily recognizable. Additionally, our medics are equipped with signage to post at the event site to ensure contact availability.
what makes your services different from an athletic trainer?
Athletic trainers focus primarily on injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization for athletes, while Smith EMS provides comprehensive medical care for everyone at your event, including spectators and staff. Our certified medics are trained to handle a wide range of emergencies, from sports injuries to unexpected medical crises. Our medics often works events in place of athletic trainers, especially for schools or organizations without dedicated athletic training staff, offering a broader scope of care to ensure the safety and well-being of all.
