Trick-Or-Treat Transport Hosted by REMSA Health
This Halloween REMSA Health is offering a special opportunity for a child with complex medical needs in our community to participate in a Trick-or-Treat Transport. REMSA Health will facilitate a paramedic crew and transportation for a child on Tuesday, October 31,2023.
A REMSA Health ambulance will pick up the child that has been selected along with their family at their current residence (or care facility). Then, the crew will escort the child around their neighborhood or a pre-selected neighborhood. The paramedics will transport the child on a stretcher so they have the opportunity to trick or treat and have a full bag candy.
