Quick facts about our highly skilled medical professionals
Every year, Halton Paramedics respond to more than 50,000 calls and transport nearly 30,000 people, treating patients on the scene and on the way to the hospital. They also deliver vital community programs including the Community Paramedicine Program in partnership with other health agencies and lifesaving and emergency training for residents and businesses across Halton.
Thank you to our paramedics for providing critical medical care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your efforts help keep Halton a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
